Participants

Reaction Steps

Using the general procedure, 2-bromobenzyl alcohol (187 mg, 1.0 mmol) was coupled with n-hexylamine (198 μL, 1.5 mmol) at 90° C. for 22 h. Purification of the crude product by column chromatography on silica gel using hexane/ethyl acetate (6:1) as eluent afforded the desired product as a colorless liquid (168 mg, 81% yield). Rf=0.7 (hexane/ethyl acetate=2:1).
