Participants

Reaction Steps

6.42 g (60 mmol) 3-Chloropropanamide, 5.85 g (30mmol) N-methyl-3,4-dimethoxybenzeneethanamine and 7.7 g (75 mmol) triethylamine in 100 ml acetonitrile were stirred under reflux for 18 hours. The reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo and the residue purified by chromatography on silicagel using methylene chloride/methanol: 92/8 to yield 5.12 g (64.1%) of the desired compound as an orange oil.
