Water → N-[2-(4-benzyloxy-3-methoxyphenyl)ethyl]-1-(2-methoxyphenyl)cyclopropane carboxamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 1-(2-methoxyphenyl)cyclopropane carbonyl chloride (16 g) in ethyl acetate (50 ml) was added to a stirred solution of 4-benzyloxy-3-methoxyphenylethylamine hydrochloride (22.3 g) in ethyl acetate (250 ml) and triethylamine (30 ml). The mixture was stirred for 3 days then water was added. The organic layer was washed with 5M-HCl, then water, then 2M aqueous sodium hydroxide solution, and dried over sodium sulphate. Evaporation yielded N-[2-(4-benzyloxy-3-methoxyphenyl)ethyl]-1-(2-methoxyphenyl)cyclopropane carboxamide.
