Participants

Reaction Steps

Triethylamine (16.0 mL, 114 mmol) was added to a solution of 2,4-dimethoxybenzylamine hydrochloride (11.1 g, 54.5 mmol) and 2,3-dibromopropene (10.9 g, 54.5 mmol) in dichloromethane (200 mL). After 18 h, water was added and the mixture was extracted with dichloromethane (3×). The combined organic extracts were washed with saturated brine, dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated. Purification by silica gel chromatography [100% dichloromethane→95% dichloromethane/5% (10% ammonium hydroxide/methanol)] gave the title compound (7.85 g).
