Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 2-cycloheptenylamine (1.11 g, 10 mmoles), triethylamine (1.01 g, 10 mmoles) and chloroform (10 ml), propionyl chloride (0.93 g, 10 mmoles) was added dropwise at 0° to 5° C. After stirring at 20° C. for 3 hours, the reaction mixture was poured into a 1N hydrochloric acid, and the separated organic layer was washed with a saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution and concentrated to obtain 1.50 g of N-(2-cycloheptenyl)propionamide [Compound (51)].
