Participants

Reaction Steps

N-(2,2-Diethoxyethyl)-3-phenethyloxy-N-(5-phenethyloxypentyl)propanamide (Example 9b), 0.18 g) was dissolved in anhydrous dioxane (5 mL) and treated with concentrated hydrochloric acid (5 mL) at room temperature. The resultant solution was stirred for 1 hour and then poured into dichloromethane (10 mL), washed with water (2×10 mL) and brine (10 mL). The organic layer was isolated, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulphate, filtered and concentrated to give the sub-titled compound (0.12 g) as a viscous oil.
