Phenoxyacetic Acid → (+)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-5-methoxy-N-[-2[(2,5-dimethyl)phenoxy]ethyl]-N-propyl-2-naphthalenamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

In Example 29, phenoxyacetic acid was replaced by 2,5-dimethylphenoxyacetic acid and (-)-2-(N-n-propylamino)-5-methoxytetralin was replaced by (+)-2-(N-n-propylamino)-5-methoxytetralin. The crude mixture was subjected to flash chromatography (Silica: 9:1 pet ether/EtOAc) and the product showed characteristic peaks at: NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.1-6.6(m, 6H), 4.0(t, 2H), 3.8(s, 3H), 2.3(s, 3H), 2.15(s, 3H), 0.9(t,3H).
