Participants

Reaction Steps

7.5 gm (0.024 mol) of 1-(2-cyano-4-cyclobutylcarbonylamino-phenoxy)-2-hydroxy-3-chloro-propane were dissolved in 20 ml of ethanol, 8.3 gm (0.1 mol) of 2-methyl-but-3-in-2-yl-amine were added to the solution, and the mixture was refluxed for 3.5 hours. The ethanol was then distilled off, and the residue was digested with H2O. After being acidified with HCl, the mixture was washed with ether, the acidic aqueous phase was made alkaline with NH4OH, and the base precipitated thereby was extracted by shaking twice with ethyl acetate. The organic phase was washed with H2O, dried over MgSO4 and the ethyl acetate was distilled off in vacuo. The crystalline residue (base) was recrystallized twice from acetonitrile, and 3.7 gm of pure substance were obtained. Melting point: 139°-141° C.
