Dimethyl Sulfoxide → HCID 20292137, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Analogously to Example 19, 10.8 g of ethyl 4-benzhydrylaminobutyrate and 5.2 g of ethyl diisopropylamine are dissolved in 100 ml of benzene and reacted with 3.1 g of acetyl chloride. As reaction product one obtains 11.4 g (92.5% of theory) of ethyl N-acetyl-4-benzhydrylaminobutyrate as a viscous non-distillable oil. The saponification of this ester yields 9.2 g (88% of theory) of N-acetyl-4-benzhydrylaminobutyric acid (M.P. 173° to 174°).
