Potassium Carbonate → (S)-1-(4-bromophenyl)-N-(2-(2-isopropyl-1,3-dioxolan-2-yl)ethyl)ethanamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of methanesulfonic acid 2-(2-isopropyl-[1,3]dioxolan-2-yl)-ethyl ester (12 g, 50 mmol) and (S)-1-(4-bromophenyl)ethanamine (19.9 g, 100 mmol) in CH3CN (250 mL) was added K2CO3 (8 g, 58 mmol), and the mixture was refluxed for 10 h. The solution was filtered, and the filtrate was concentrated to afford the crude product, which was purified by column chromatography to give [(S)-1-(4-bromophenyl)-ethyl]-[2-(2-isopropyl-[1,3]dioxolan-2-yl)-ethyl]-amine (6.5 g, 38%).
