Hydrochloric Acid → Phenethylamine, N-methyl-, hydrochloride

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of propargyl bromide (1.1 g, 9.1 mmol) in acetonitrile (8.5 ml) was added dropwise to a stirred mixture of 3-(N-Me, N-Et carbamyloxy)α-methyl phenethylamine.HCl (2.4 g, 8.8 mmol) and potassium carbonate (2.8 g) in acetonitrile (25 ml), and the mixture was stirred at RT for 7 hrs. The reaction mixture was filtered and the filtrate was removed under reduced pressure and the residue was purified by column chromatography (hexane:EtOAc 2:1) to give 1.76 g of the title compound as the free base (73%)
