Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention provides a process for preparing 2-methyl-N-(2′-methylbutyl)butanamide of the following formula (1): the process comprising: subjecting an α-arylethyl-2-methylbutylamine compound of the following general formula (2): wherein Ar represents a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group having 6 to 20 carbon atoms, to N-2-methylbutyrylation to form an N-α-arylethyl-2-methyl-N-(2′-methylbutyl)butanamide compound of the following general formula (3): wherein Ar is as defined above, and removing the α-arylethyl group of the resulting compound (3) to form 2-methyl-N-(2′-methylbutyl)butanamide (1).

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A process for preparing a mixture of diastereomers of general formulae (2R*,αR*)-(2) and (2S*,αR*)-(2) of an α-arylethylamine compound: wherein the hashed bond and the bold bonds represent a relative configuration, and Ar represents a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group having 6 to 20 carbon atoms, the process comprising: separating the mixture of the diastereomers of general formulae (2R*,αR*)-(2) and (2S*,αR*)-(2) of the α-arylethylamine compound from an α-arylethyl-2-methylbutylamine compound of general formula (2): wherein Ar of general formula (2) represents a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group having 6 to 20 carbon atoms.
