Acetyl chloride → N-biphenyl-3-ylmethyl-acetamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

C-Biphenyl-3-yl-methylamine (700 mg, 3.8 mmol) was dissolved in 38 mL of CH2Cl2. To this was added 38 mL of satd NaHCO3 (aq) followed by acetyl chloride (1.41 mL 19,8 mmol). The resulting mixture was stirred 45 min. The organic layer was separated, washed with satd NaCl, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and solvent removed under vacuum to yield 1.1 grams of N-biphenyl-3-ylmethyl-acetamide.
