Participants

Reaction Steps

A 19.35 g. portion of 1-p-chlorophenyl-3-azabicyclo[3.1.0]hexane, 10.59 g. of sodium carbonate and 17.5 g. of p-chlorobenzoyl chloride are reacted in benzene. The benzene is evaporated, the dark purple residue is dissolved in 200 ml. of chloroform and washed successively with 5% sodium carbonate, 0.5 N hydrochloric acid and then with water and dried over sodium sulfate giving a dark purple oil. Addition of ether gives the product 3-p-chlorobenzoyl-1-(p-chlorophenyl)-3-azabicyclo[3.1.0]hexane as grey crystals.
