Pyridine → N-(2'-Diethylaminoethyl)phenoxyacetamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

First, 20 milliliters (0.05 mole) N,N-diethylethylene diamine, 50 milliliters methylene chloride, and 5.2 milliliters (0.065 mole) pyridine were combined in a flask. Next, 10.24 grams (0.06 mole) phenoxy acetyl chloride was added at -60° C. with stirring. The temperature was allowed to rise to 0° C. The reaction mixture was then washed with a 200 milliliter portion of water and a 100 milliliter portion of saturated sodium carbonate solution. The organic solution was stripped in vacuum to yield 8.3 grams of the desired product. nD30 1.5118.
