1,2-Dibromoethane → N-(3-ethoxycarbonylpropyl)-N-(2-bromoethyl)-N-[2-(chroman-3-yl)ethyl]amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

29.1 g (0.1 mol) of N-(3-ethoxycarbonylpropyl)-N-[2-(chroman-3-yl)ethyl]-amine are dissolved in 200 ml of methanol, and then 10.5 g (0.1 mol) of triethylamine and 18.8 g (0.1 mol) of 1,2-dibromoethane are added to the solution. The reaction mixture is stirred for 16 hours at room temperature and then concentrated under a water-jet vacuum. The residue is taken up in diethyl ether and washed neutral with ice-water. The ethereal phase is dried over potassium carbonate and concentrated by evaporation. N-(3-ethoxycarbonylpropyl)-N-(2-bromoethyl)-N-[2-(chroman-3-yl)ethyl]amine is thus obtained in the form of an oil which can be used further in the crude state.
