Sodium hydride → HCID 54415840, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred and cooled (0° C.) solution of 2,2-diphenylacetamide (500 mg, 2.36 mmol) in THF (20 ml) was added sodium hydride (95 mg, 2.36 mmol; 60%) and the mixture was stirred at RT for 0.5 h. Then cyclopropanecarboxylic acid chloride(247 mg, 2.36 mmol) dissolved in THF (5 ml) was added dropwise at RT and the solution was stirred at RT for 20 h. The reaction mixture was poured into sat. NaHCO3 solution (50 ml) and extracted with ethyl acetate (2×70 ml). The combined organic layers were washed with brine (50 ml), dried (MgSO4) and evaporated. Further purification by column chromatography (toluene/ethyl acetate 19:1) yielded the product which was recrystallized from ethyl acetate/hexane to give a white solid (133 mg, 20%), m.p. 178° C. and MS: m/e=279 (M+).
