Chloroacetyl chloride → N-Benzyl-2-chloro-N-isopropyl-acetamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 5.00 g of N-isopropylbenzylamine and 3.74 g of triethylamine in 60 ml of dry dichloromethane was added dropwise 3.84 g of chloroacetyl chloride with stirring under ice-cooling. The mixture was heated under reflux for 2 hours. After cooling, the reaction mixture was successively washed with water, a 10% hydrochloric acid and an aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure to obtain 7.67 g of N-benzyl-2-chloro-N-isopropylacetamide in an oil.
