2-amino-N-(4-phenylbutyl)acetamide;hydrochloride

Conditions: temp:0.00; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: 2-Amino-N-(4-phenyl-butyl)-acetamide-hydrogen chloride salt is stirred with benzophenone imine (12.6 mL, 75 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (200 mL) for 24 h. The organics are then washed with water, dried (MgSO4), and concentrated to provide 2-(diphenylmethylenamino)-N-(4-phenyl-butyl)-acetamide (7) as a white solid which is used without further purification. The organics are then washed with water dried (MgSO4) concentrated
