Hydrochloric Acid → 1-Phenylethane-1,2-diamine--hydrogen chloride (1/2)

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 20 g of 1-phenyl-1-acetylamino-2-acetylaminoethane and 100 ml of concentrated HCl is refluxed for 15 hours. The product separates on chilling and is filtered off, washed with acetone and then with ether to yield 13.7 g of the title C compound. This material is stored in the refrigerator (on standing at room temperature, this material will lose part of the bound HCl).
