Potassium Hydroxide → HCID 13145802, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 0.56 g (0.01 mol) of potassium hydroxide in 18 ml of absolute ethanol are added 2.18 g (0.01 mol) of 4-(3-fluorobenzyloxy)phenol. There is then added a solution of 1.64 g (0.01 mol) of N-(3-chloropropyl)morpholine in 2 ml of absolute ethanol. The mixture is stirred at reflux for 24 hours, allowed to cool and then refrigerated. The solid which forms is collected by filtration, washed with absolute ethanol and dissolved in diethyl ether. The ethereal solution is washed consecutively with water (20 ml), 10% aqueous sodium hydroxide (3×15 ml) and water until neutral to litmus. The solution is dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and evaporated and recrystallized from diethyl ether-petroleum ether and from diethyl ether alone to yield N-[3-(4-{3-fluorobenzyloxy}phenoxy)propyl]morpholine.
