Hydrochloric Acid → N-{2-[4-(1-methylprop-1-yloxy)-phenoxy]-ethyl}-cyclopropanecarboxamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

At 5° C., 3.4 g of cyclopropanecarboxylic chloride was dripped into a solution of 6.5 g of 2-[4-(1-methylprop-1-yloxy)-phenoxy]-ethylamine and 3.5 g of triethylamine in 100 ml of absolute methylene chloride. After the mixture had been stirred for 8 hours it was poured onto 200 g of ice/water and the resultant solution was adjusted to a pH of 2 with 2N aqueous hydrochloric acid. The aqueous phase was then extracted twice, each time with 50 ml of methylene chloride, and the combined organic phases were washed with saturated sodium carbonate solution and water, and dried over sodium sulfate. After removal of the solvent under reduced pressure and recrystallization from cyclohexane, there was obtained 6.4 g of N-{2-[4-(1-methylprop-1-yloxy)-phenoxy]-ethyl}-cyclopropanecarboxamide (compound no. 2); m.p.: 65°-68° C.
