Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of morpholine (3.6 mL, 41 mmol) and triethylamine (5.2 g, 51 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (100 mL) was added chloroacetyl chloride (3.0 mL, 38 mmol) at 0° C., and the mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 20 minutes. The reaction solution was concentrated and ethyl acetate was added thereto. The resulting mixture was washed with water and saturated brine and dried over magnesium sulfate. The solid was filtered off, and the filtrate was concentrated to obtain the title compound (4.0 g, yield 64%) as an oily matter.
