Acetonitrile → HCID 68125252, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

2.49 g (0.01 mol) of 1-[p-(2-methoxycarbonylaminovinyl)-phenoxy]-2,3-epoxy-propane are dissolved in 25 ml of acetonitrile and added dropwise to a boiling stirred solution of 1.42 g (0.0095 mol) of 3-amino-1-phenylbutane in 20 ml of acetonitrile. The mixture is stirred for 20 hours under reflux, the solvent is removed by distillation under reduced pressure and the oil which remains is partitioned between 120 ml of 0.1 N hydrochloric acid and 100 ml of ethyl acetate. The hydrochloric acid extract is separated off, rendered alkaline with sodium carbonate and extracted four times with 50 ml of ethyl acetate at a time. The organic phases are dried over sodium sulphate and evaporated in vacuo. The resulting oil yields 1-[p-(2-methoxycarbonylaminovinyl)-phenoxy]-2-hydroxy-3-(1-methyl-3-phenyl-propyl)-amino propane of melting point 126°-127° C., from ethyl acetate.
