Acetic Anhydride → HCID 10036926, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

19 g (0.1 mole) of N-cyclopropyl-N-benzylethylenediamine are added at 50° C. to 15.3 g (0.15 mole) of acetic anhydride. When the exothermic phase is over, the mixture is kept for further 30 minutes at 70° C., then cooled down and poured into ice. The organic phase is extracted with toluene and, after drying and evaporation, it gives a residue of gas-chromatographically pure N-acetyl-N'-cyclopropyl-N'-benzylethylenediamine with an almost quantitative yield.
