Participants

Reaction Steps

N-[4-methoxy-3-(naphthylmethoxy)phenyl]-2,2-diphenylethanamide (Exemplary Compound 49) was prepared using the same experimental conditions used to prepare Example 52 (Scheme X). From 4-methoxy-3-(2-naphthylethoxy)phenylamine (350 mg, 1.25 mmol) and diphenylacetyl chloride (290 mg, 1.25 mmol) in 10 mL of dimethyl acetamide containing triethylamine (1 mL, 7.17 mmol) stirred at room temperature for 16 h., was obtained 375 mg of product in (64%) yield as a white solid after recrystallization from ethyl acetate/hexane: mp 170-172° C. 1H NMR (400 MHz, Me2SO-d6) δ3.69 (s, 3H); 5.13 (s, 1H); 5.46 (s, 2H); 6.93 (d, 1H, J=8.7); 7.20-7.37 (m, 10H); 7.50-7.65 (m, 5H); 7.94-8.09 (m, 3H); 10.28 (s, 1H). Anal. Calcd for C32H27NO3: C, 81.16; H, 5.75; N, 2.96. Found: C, 80.95; H, 5.76; N, 3.03.
