Reaction Steps

Benzylamine (1.5 eq, 2.88 g, 2.94 mL, 26.8 mmol) was combined with 3,3,3-trifluoro-1,2-epoxypropane (2.0 g, 17.86 mmol) in a sealed glass tube and heated at 80° C. for 18 h. Upon cooling to room temperature, the reaction mixture formed a slushy white solid. The solid was collected by filtration and washed with diethyl ether. The mother liquor was concentrated in vacuo to give 1.71 g (43%) of the desired 1,1′-[(phenyl-methyl)imino]bis[3,3,3-trifluoro-2-propanol] product as a colorless oil. FABMS m/z=332 [M+H]+. 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ 2.85-2.96 (m, 4H), 3.94 (s, 2H), 3.94-3.97 (m, 2H), 7.24-7.37 (m, 5H).
