Formamide → Hydrochloric Acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

The preparation of N-formyl-1-[1-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)cyclobutyl]ethylamine (m.p. 124°-125° C.) (Example 1(a) Formula I R1 =Me; R2 =H; R3 =H; R4 =CHO; R5 =4--Cl and R6 =3--Cl) described above was repeated and the product isolated by cooling the reaction mixture and collecting the solid produced by filtration. The formamide was then hydrolysed by concentrated hydrochloric acid in industriral methylated spirit to give the hydrochloride salt of 1-[1-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)cyclobutyl]ethylamine.
