Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of potassium carbonate (1 equivalent) and morpholine (3.3 equivalents) were cooled to -5° under an inert atmosphere and dodecanal (1 equivalent) was added dropwise over 30 minutes. The reaction mixture was allowed to warm to room temperature and stirring was continued for 3-6 hours. Addition to ether followed by filtration and concentration gave crude morpholine enamine. The residue was distilled to give the desired product; b.p. 103-108° /0.07 mm; yield 74%.
