Chloroacetyl chloride → HCID 59396492, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Chloroacetyl chloride (0.151 mL) was added to a solution of 1,1-diphenyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline (339 mg) and p-toluenesulfonate monohydrate (11.3 mg) in toluene (5 mL). The mixture was heated under reflux for 3 hours. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure, and EtOAc and an aqueous 1 M HCl solution were added to the residue. The organic layer was washed with water, a saturated aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate solution, and saturated brine, dried over magnesium sulfate, and filtered. The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to obtain 2-(chloroacetyl)-1,1-diphenyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline (452 mg).
