Procedure

28% aqueous HCl (0.3 mL, 2.26 mmol) was added to a solution of N-(4-Chloro-phenyl)-N-(2-cyclopentyl-ethyl)-hydrazine (0.54 g, 2.26 mmol) in ethanol (2.5 mL) and water (1 mL) under a nitrogen atmosphere. The reaction was heated to 60° C. (oil bath temperature) and 4,4-diethoxy-N-methylbutan-1-amine (0.32 g, 1.84 mmol) was added. The reaction was heated to reflux and 28% aqueous HCl (0.15 mL, 1.13 mmol) was added. The reaction was heated at reflux for 2.5 h. The reaction was cooled to 60° C. and then more 4,4-diethoxy-N-methylbutan-1-amine (0.32 g, 1.84 mmol) was added. The reaction was heated to reflux and then more 28% aqueous HCl (0.15 mL, 1.13 mmol) was added. The reaction was heated to reflux for a further 3.5 h. The reaction was cooled and concentrated under reduced pressure. The red brown residue was subjected to column chromatography (silica gel, eluent: EtOAc followed by EtOAc:EtOH:NH4OH 90:10:1) to give the product (0.318 g, 46%).
