Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A solution of 20 g (0.23 mol) of 3-methylamino-1-propanol in 50 ml tetrahydrofuran was added dropwise to a solution of 18 g of diketene (0.21 mol) in 200 ml tetrahydrofuran −5 to 0° C. After 1 h stirring at 0° C. no more starting material was detected by thin layer chromatography. The reaction mixture was evaporated and the residue purified by column chromatography. This gave 29.2 g (0.17 mol, 79% yield) of a colorless oil.
