Phenylacetyl chloride → HCID 14348999, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a cooled solution of 2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1-(p-trifluoromethylphenoxy)-3-benzazepine of Example 1 (5.8 g. 0.019 mole) and triethylamine (2.3 g, 0.023 mole) in chloroform (75 ml) was slowly dropped phenylacetyl chloride (3.5 g. 0.023 mole) in chloroform (10 ml). After stirring at ambient temperature overnight the reaction mixture was concentrated to an oil. The oil was dissolved in ether, then washed with water, dilute HCl (10%), again with water and dried (saturated NaCl, anhydrous (MgSO4). The solution was filtered, concentrated to an oil which was extracted with boiling hexanes and then concentrated to an oil (6.8 g, 84%). A sample was distilled to yield an oil of 3-phenylacetyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1-(p-trifluoromethylphenoxy)-3-benzazepine, 240°-250° C./0.1 mm.
