3',4'-Bis(acetoxy)-2-bromoacetophenone → 2-{N-benzyl-N-[2-(2-phenylacetamido)ethyl]amino}-3',4'-bis(acetoxy)acetophenone

Participants

Reaction Steps

3',4'-Bis(acetoxy)-2-bromoacetophenone was reacted with N-[2-(benzylamino)ethyl]-2-phenylacetamide using a similar procedure to that described in Example 1 for the analogous pivaloyloxy derivative to give 2-{N-benzyl-N-[2-(2-phenylacetamido)ethyl]amino}-3',4'-bis(acetoxy)acetophenone, which was isolated as its free base and converted to its hydrochloride salt with ethereal hydrogen chloride to give a solid, m.p. 140°-145° C.
