Potassium Carbonate → 2-Bromo-N-cyclohexyl-N-cyclopropyl-acetamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To an ice cooled mixture of 1.054 g (6 mmol) of N-cyclohexyl-N-cyclopropylamine hydrochloride, 2.07 g (15 mmol) of potassium carbonate in 15 ml of methylene chloride and 15 ml of water was added 1.2 g (6 mmol) of bromoacetyl bromide. Then the reaction mixture was stirred at RT for 20 h. The organic phase washed with water, dried over sodium sulphate and evaporated to dryness to give 1.33 g of crude compound. Flash chromatography using DCM as eluant afforded 1.12 g of the desiderated compound as colorless oil.
