Diethylethanolamine → 2-Diethylaminoethyl 2-[4-(4-chlorophenyl)benzyloxy]-3,3,3-trifluoro-2-trifluoromethylpropionate hydrochloride

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-diethylaminoethanol (814 mg.) and pyridine (10 ml.) is added at 0° C. to 2-[4-(4-chlorophenyl)-benzyloxy]-3,3,3-trifluoro-2-trifluoromethylpropionyl chloride (3.07 g.). The mixture is stirred at room temperature until the acid chloride dissolves, and the solution is stored at 0° C. for 2 days. The mixture is filtered and the filtrate evaporated. The residue is triturated with ether and combined with the solid previously filtered off. The combined solids are crystallised from dioxane-ether to give 2-diethylaminoethyl 2-[4-(4-chlorophenyl)benzyloxy]-3,3,3-trifluoro-2-trifluoromethylpropionate hydrochloride (2.2 g.), m.p. 139°-140° C. (decomposition).
