Participants

Reaction Steps

2-(Methylaminomethyl)quinoline (4.47 g, 25.96 mmol) in acetonitrile (30 mL) was added to a stirring solution of (S)-(+)-2-[(4-nitrophenoxy)methyl]oxirane (4.23 g, 21.67 mmol) in acetonitrile (10 mL). The reaction was lightly refluxed under N2 for 24 hours, cooled and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by HPLC dried and heated under vacuum to afford 5.01 g (63%) of product which was used directly in the next step.
