Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 2-cyano-3,3-dimethylbutanoyl chloride (E. Schaumann, H. Mrotzek; J. Org. Chem., 1979, 35, 1965) (0.364 g, 2.28 mmol) in 10 mL methylene chloride was added dropwise to a solution of 1-(2-ethylphenoxy)propanamine hydrochloride (0.56 g, 2.6 mmol), triethyl amine (1.0 mL, 7.2 mmol) in 30 mL methylene chloride. The reaction mixture was stirred for 2 h then concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by flash chromatography using 20% ethyl acetate/hexanes as eluent to give 0.290 g (42%) of the title compound as a white solid: mp 94-97° C., 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ 1.20 (m, 12H), 1.40 (m, 3H), 2.65 (q, 2H), 3.16 (dd, 1H), 3.98 (m, 1H), 4.05 (m, 1H), 4.40 (m, 1H), 6.00 (d, 1H), 6.25 (dd, 1H), 6.95 (t, 1H), 7.18 (t, 2H).
