N,N-Dimethylaniline → HCID 85798673, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-methyl-3-pentanol (10.6 g, 103 mmol) in dichloromethane (49 ml), N,N-dimethylaniline (15.0 g, 124 mmol) and bromoacetyl bromide (25.0 g, 124 mmol) were added and stirred at room temperature for 2 hours under a nitrogen stream. The reaction mixture was poured into water, extracted with tert-butyl methyl ether, washed sequentially with saturated aqueous potassium bisulfate and saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate, and then dried over sodium sulfate. After evaporation under reduced pressure to remove the solvent, the resulting residue was purified by vacuum distillation (5 mmHg, 71° C. to 72° C.) to give the titled compound (20.4 g, 89%) as a colorless oil.
