Participants

Reaction Steps

Cyclopropane carbonyl chloride (4.54 ml) was added dropwise over 5 min to a stirred solution of 4-benzyloxyaniline hydrochloride (11.8 g) and triethylamine (15.33 ml) in dichloromethane (60 ml). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature under nitrogen for 2 h. The solution was diluted with 2N hydrochloric acid (100 ml) and dichloromethane (200 ml). The organic layer was washed with 2N sodium carbonate (100 ml), water (100 ml), 10% brine (50 ml) and dried over anhydrous sodium sulphate. Concentration in vacuo gave a pale brown solid which was washed with diethyl ether (3×5 ml) to afford the title compound (12 g) as a white solid, m.p. 162°.
