Formaldehyde → HCID 54013306, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1.3 g. of 3-(o-N-methylcarbamoylmethoxyphenoxy)-1-t-butylaminopropan-2-ol, 20 ml. of absolute ethanol and 2 ml. of aqueous 36% w/v formaldehyde solution is heated under reflux for 24 hours. The solution is evaporated to dryness under reduced pressure and there is thus obtained as the residual oil 5-(o-N-methylcarbamoylmethoxyphenoxymethyl)-3-t-butyloxazolidine which is characterised by its proton magnetic resonance spectrum.
