Sodium Carbonate → N-Indan-2-yl-N-propyl-propionamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of N-indan-2-yl-propylamine (9.5 g, 54.3 mmol) in methylene chloride was added aq. Na2CO3 (150 mL, 3%) followed by propionyl chloride (7.5 mL, 86.3 mmol). The mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 1 h. The layers were separated and the organic layer was washed with water, separated and dried (MgSO4). Evaporation of the solvent yielded 7 g (56%) of N-indan-2-yl-N-propyl-propionamide. MS m/e 231 (1, M+), 116 (100), 117 (23), 57 (11), 146 (9).
