Hydrochloric Acid → N-(2-Oxoethyl)-N-phenethyl-3-phenethyloxy-propanamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

N-(2,2-Diethyloxyethyl)-N-phenethyl-3-phenethyloxy-propanamide (Example 3a), 0.23 g) was dissolved in dioxane (5 mL) and treated with concentrated hydrochloric acid (1.5 mL) at ambient temperature. The resultant solution was stirred at ambient temperature for 2.5 hours. The reaction mixture was then poured into dichloromethane (20 mL) and washed with water (2×20 mL) and brine (20 mL). The organic layer was isolated, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulphate, filtered and concentrated to give the sub-titled compound (0.13 g) as a viscous oil.
