Tricyclo(3.3.1.13,7)dec-1-ylmethylamine → 1-(4-(Benzyloxy)phenyl)-2-((1-adamantylmethyl)amino)ethanol

Participants

Reaction Steps

2-(4-(benzyloxy)phenyl)oxirane (2 g, 8.8 mmol) and (1-adamantylmethyl)amine (1.46 g, 8.8 mol) were dissolved in isopropyl alcohol (30 mL) and heated under reflux overnight. The mixture was concentrated to give the crude product, which was purified by column chromatography to afford 1-(4-(benzyloxy)phenyl)-2-((1-adamantylmethyl)amino)ethanol (0.8 g, 23%). 1H NMR: (CDCl3, 400 MHz) δ=1.51 (m, 6H), 1.60-1.72 (m, 6H), 1.97 (m, 3H), 2.32&2.45 (dd, 2H), 2.64 (m, 1H), 2.73 (m, 1H), 2.94 (m, 1H), 3.40 (brs, 3H), 4.79 (m, 1H), 6.93 (m, 2H), 7.26-7.43 (m, 7H).
