Sodium Hydroxide → N-((1R)-1-Cyclohexylethyl)-4-phenyl-1-phthalazinamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To 400 ml of N-methylpyrrolidone, 144.4 g (0.6 mol) of 1-chloro-4-phenylphthalazine and 230 g (1.8 mol) of (R)-(-)-1-cyclohexylethylamine were added, and the mixture was heated to 120° to 130° C. for 6 hours with stirring. After completion of the reaction, the mixture was cooled and added with 4.0 l of 5% aqueous NaOH solution, and then extracted with chloroform. The organic layer was dried over MgSO4, concentrated and purified by silica gel column chromatography (eluent; ethyl acetate/hexane/chloroform=1:3:1). After recrystallization from ether/chloroform, 150.2 g of (R)-1-(1-cyclohexylethylamino)-4-phenylphthalazine was obtained. m.p. 164.0°-167.0° C.
