Sodium → 2-amino-2-(4-chlorophenyl)-N-ethylacetamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 516 mg (1.65 mM) of tert-butyl 1-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-(ethylamino)-2-oxoethylcarbamate in 2 ml of 4N hydrochloric acid-dioxane solution were stirred at room temperature for 2 h. The reaction mixture was neutralized with an aqueous solution of sodium hydrogenocarbonate and was extracted twice with ethyle acetate. The combined organic layer was washed with water and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The solvent was removed under vacuum to give 350 mg of 2-amino-2-(4-chlorophenyl)-N-ethylacetamide as an oil.
