Reaktionsschritte

17.6 g of 1-chloromethyl-naphthalene in 40 ml of absolute ethanol is added, dropwise, at 0° to 5°, to 100 ml of a 33% solution of methylamine in absolute ethanol. The mixture is allowed to stand overnight and is then evaporated. The residue is taken up in a little chloroform and washed with 100 ml of 1 N sodium hydroxide solution and with water. The organic phase is dried and evaporated to dryness. The residue is distilled at 0.01 Torr to obtain the heading compound as main fraction, b.p. 85°-87°.
