Hexanoyl chloride → N-(6-bromo-1-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalen-2-yl)hexanamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To 2-amino-6-bromo-3,4-dihydronaphthalen-1(2H)-one hydrochloride (Preparation 82B, 1.1 g, 3.98 mmol) in dichloromethane (5 mL) was added diisopropylethylamine (1.737 mL, 9.94 mmol) at 0° C. under a nitrogen atmosphere. To the homogenous solution was added hexanoyl chloride (0.602 mL, 4.38 mmol) dropwise over a period of 3 min. The reaction mixture was allowed to come to room temperature (˜5 min.) and was stirred at room temperature for 3 h. The reaction mixture was partitioned between dichloromethane (30 mL) and 1N HCl (10 mL). The dichloromethane layer was separated, washed with sat. aq. NaHCO3 (20 mL), dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated to yield N-(6-bromo-1-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalen-2-yl)hexanamide (1.2 g, 3.55 mmol, 89% yield) as an off-white solid. LC/MS M+1 339.
