Reaktionsschritte

To a mixture of 11.5 parts of 1-(iso-propyl)-3-azetidinol and 15.8 parts of α-naphthol 0.2 part of 182°- potassium hydroxide was added, and the mixture was heated under nitrogen gas at 160° C. for 20 hours. The reaction mixture was cooled and then extracted with ether. The ether extract was washed with 2N-NaOH aqueous solution and then with water. The liquor was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and the solvent was distilled off. The residue was recrystallized for cyclohexane or subjected to distillation under reduced pressure. As a result 19.6 parts of 1-(α-naphthoxy)-3-(isopropylamino)-2-propanol having a melting point of 94°-96° C. and a boiling point of 158°-159° C. under 2.5 mm Hg were obtained. The yield was 76%. The residue of infra-red spectrum analysis of the product are as follows:
