1-Naphthalenecarbonyl chloride → HCID 22262099, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (1RS,2SR)-2-amino-1,3-bis(4-fluorophenyl)-1-propanol (450 mg, 1.71 mmol) in ethyl acetate (15 ml) were added 1-naphthoyl chloride (386 ml, 2.56 mmol) and saturated aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate (15 ml) and the mixture was stirred overnight at room temperature. The reaction solution was diluted with water (100 ml) and extracted with ethyl acetate (100 ml×2). The extract was washed with saturated brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane:acetone=1:1). Recrystallization from ethyl acetate-hexane gave the title compound (515 mg, 72%).
