Chloroacetyl chloride → Diethatyl-ethyl

Participants

Reaction Steps

23.5 Grams (0.1 mol) of ethyl 2,6-diethylanilinoacetate and 11.3 g (0.1 mol) of monochloroacetic acid chloride were dissolved in 100 ml of benzene, 11.0 g of triethylamine was then added dropwise thereto with stirring maintaining the reaction temperature at 10°-20° C. and, thereafter, stirring was continued for further 2 hours at a room temperature. The reaction solution was washed with successive, 5% sodium hydroxide aqueous solution, 5% hydrochloric acid aqueous solution, and water. Then, the benzene layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. Thereafter, benzene was removed under reduced pressure to obtain the end product, ethyl N-chloroacetyl-2,6-diethylanilinoacetate. nD26 : 1.5225.
