Acetyl chloride → HCID 66673333, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Acetyl chloride (278.8 mL, 3920 mmol) was added dropwise to ethanol (382 mL, 6530 mmol) at −5° C. over 2 h keeping the internal temperature below 20° C. The resulting solution was added portion wise over 15 min, keeping the internal temperature below 30° C., to a slurry of trans-(7-carbamoyl-1,1-diethyl-3-methoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-naphthalen-2-yl)-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester (123.0 g, 327 mmol) and ethanol (500 mL) that had been cooled to 10° C. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 h, and concentrated to ˜200 mL by rotary evaporation. Ethyl acetate (200 mL) was added and the resulting slurry was stirred at 0° C. for 30 min, filtered and dried to yield the hydrochloride salt of the title compound (102 g, >98% purity) as a white solid.
