Phosphorus oxychloride → HCID 21866606, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

1-[2-Acetyl-2-(p-toluoylamino) ethyl]-3-bromobenzene (13.26 g) was dissolved in 260 ml of toluene, and 6.8 ml of phosphorus oxychloride was added and heated to reflux for 3 hours. The reaction solution was cooled, poured into ice-cold water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The resulting solution was washed with aqueous solution of saturated sodium hydrogen carbonate, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and concentrated. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (Wakogel® C-200, n-hexane:ethyl acetate=4:1) to provide 10.86 g of the objective compound as yellowish crystals. M.p. 74–75° C.
