Participants

Reaction Steps

Oxalyl chloride (6.1 g, 48 mmol) was added to a solution of phenylglyoxylic acid (6.0 g, 40 mmol) and 3 drops of DMF in dry DCM (50 mL). The reaction mixture was stirred at RT for 3 h then the solvent was removed. The residue was taken up in dry DCM (50 mL) and the solution was cooled to 0° C. A mixture of propargyl amine (2.2 g, 40 mmol) and triethylamine (4.05 g, 40 mmol) was added cautiously over a period of 10 min then the mixture was allowed to warm to RT. Stirring was continued for 2.5 h then water (10 mL) was added. The mixture was washed with 1 M HCl, sat. sodium hydrogencarbonate (aq.), then brine. The organic phase was then dried (Na2SO4) and the solvent was removed. The residue was crystallized from cyclohexane to afford the product as a light brown solid.
