1-Naphthylamine → HCID 11694296, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

In a round bottom flask containing 1-naphthyl amine (0.1 g, 0.68 mmol) stirring in DCM (5 mL) was added DIEA (0.18 mL, 1.02 mmol) and chloro-oxo-acetic acid methyl ester (0.068 mL, 0.748 mmol). The mixture was allowed to stir at room temperature for 1 h. The reaction mixture was poured over saturated sodium bicarbonate and the layers separated. The aqueous layer was extracted twice more with 3×15 mL DCM. The combined organics were washed with brine, dried over MgSO4 and concentrated in vacuo to afford a brown solid. The crude material was purified by flash chromatography (0-50% EtOAc:Hexanes on silica gel) to yield the desired product (0.14 g, 90%) as an off-white solid. Expected mass=229. Observed mass=230.
