Acetic Anhydride → N-acetyl-N-ethyl-1-[1-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)cyclobutyl]ethylamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of N-ethyl-1-[1-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)cyclobutyl]ethylamine (0.5 g prepared by treating the product of Example 21 with aqueous sodium hydroxide) and acetic anhydride (1 ml) was heated at 40°-45° C. for thirty minutes. The reaction mixture was basified and extracted with ether. The ether extract was washed, dried and evaporated to give N-acetyl-N-ethyl-1-[1-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)cyclobutyl]ethylamine as an oil.
