2-(4-Chlorophenyl)ethylamine → HCID 4591748, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

[2-(4-chlorophenyl)ethyl]amine (3.5 g) was dissolved in a 1:2 mixed solution (45 mL) of EtOAc-saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate. A solution of cyclohexanecarbonyl chloride (3.35 mL) in EtOAc (18 mL) was added dropwise to the reaction liquid over 5 minutes. After stirring for 1.5 hours, the reaction liquid was extracted with EtOAc, washed with an aqueous 1 M sodium hydroxide solution and water, and dried over magnesium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated and the resulting residue was dried to obtain N-[2-(4-chlorophenyl)ethyl]cyclohexanecarboxamide (5.69 g).
