Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 1.425 g. (5 millimols) diisopropyl N-(2-phenylethyl)-phosphoramidate in 20 ml. diisopropyl ether saturated with hydrogen chloride is stirred overnight at ambient temperature. The precipitate of 2-phenylethylamine hydrochloride formed is filtered off, washed with diisopropyl ether and then dried in vacuo to give 0.75 g.
