Acetic Acid → (1-Benzofuran-2-ylmethyl)(methyl)amine

참여 물질

반응 단계

To a stirred solution of 2-benzofurancarboxaldehyde (2.22 g, 15.2 mmole) in MeOH (5 mL) was added 2 M methylamine in MeOH (15 mL), HOAc (0.86 mL, 15 mmole), and NaBH3CN (1.0 g, 15.9 mmole). The reaction was stirred for 18 h at RT then concentrated under vacuum. The remaining residue was taken up in Et2O, and the solution was washed with 1 N NaOH then brine, dried (Na2SO4), and concentrated to dryness. Purification by flash chromatography on silica gel (5% (5% NH4OH in MeOH)/CHCl3) gave the title compound (1.23 g, 50%) as a pale yellow oil: MS (ES) m/e 162.4 (M+H)+.
