Methylamine → 3-(Methylaminomethyl)benzonitrile

関与物質

反応手順

In a 3 necked round bottom flask (250 ml), put under nitrogen atmosphere, a solution of 3-(bromomethyl)benzonitrile (5 g; 25.5 mmol; 1 eq.) in anhydrous THF (20 ml) was added dropwise into methylamine (63.76 ml; 2 M; 127.52 mmol; 5 eq.) (2M solution in THF) over 1 hour. The reaction mixture was stirred at RT for 2 hours. Some bis-benzylation was observed (7%). The reaction mixture was filtered to remove the salt. The filtrate was evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was taken up with DCM and evaporated again to give the title compound as a yellow oil (3.78 g, quantitative yield). It was used in the next step without any further purification. LC/MS (Method B) 146.8 (M+H)+.
