Participants

Reaction Steps

Propionic acid chloride (2 mL, 2.1 g, 23 mmol) was added dropwise to a solution of indan-2-yl-propylamine (4.0 g, 23 mmol) and triethyl amine in dichloromethane (50 mL). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours. Aqueous (10%) sodium carbonate was added and the mixture was shaken. The organic phase was dried (magnesium sulfate), filtered and evaporated to yield 4.5 g (85%) of the title compound as an oil.:
