Chloroacetyl chloride → HCID 14851587, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 10.0 g of N-(2,6-dimethylphenyl)-3-pyridinepropanamine in 75 ml of dichloromethane was added dropwise to a cold (20° C.) solution of 3.5 ml of chloroacetylchloride in 35 ml of dichloromethane. The cooling bath was removed and the reaction was allowed to warm to room temperature over 30 minutes followed by the addition of excess aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution. The layers were separated and the organic layer was washed with brine, dried with sodium sulfate and evaporated to give 13.4 g of product as a dark oil which was used directly in the next steps, that is, in Examples 20 and 21.
