Cyclohexylamine → 3-chloro-N-cyclohexylpropanamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

β-Chloropropionyl chloride (31.7 g.) is added dropwise to a stirred solution of cyclohexylamine (24.8 g.) and triethylamine (28.2 g.) in toluene (250 ml.). The mixture is cooled and filtered and the filtrate is evaporated to dryness under reduced pressure. There is thus obtained as residue β-chloro-N-cyclohexylpropionamide, m.p. 77°-80° C. β-Chloro-N- 2-furfurylpropionamide may similarly be obtained from furfurylamine.
