Reaction Steps

To a solution of diisopropylamine (6.8 g) (0.068 mol) and 6.8 g. of triethylamine in 100 ml of anhydrous benzene was added dropwise at 15° C. with stirring and ice-bath cooling, dichloroacetyl chloride (10.0 g, 0.068 mol). The solution was stirred overnight at room temperature. The benzene solution was washed successively with 10% HCl, H2O sodium hydroxide and saturated NaCl solution and was dried over anhydrous MgSO4. The solvent was distilled off, yielding 4.9 g. of liquid product, which infrared absorption spectra indicated to be substantially pure. No further purification was considered to be necessary for the purpose of this invention.
