Tetrahydrofuran → p-Benzyl-ethylaminophenethyl acrylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

In a three-aperture flask, 6.64 g (26 mmol) of p-benzyl-ethylaminophenethyl alcohol, 5.79 g (57.2 mmol) of triethylamine, and 50 mL of dehydrated tetrahydrofuran were poured, and the mixture was stirred under an argon atmosphere and an ice-cooling condition. Then, 4.70 g (52 mmol) of chloride acrylate was delivered by drops into the reaction solution for 30 minutes. Upon completion of the dripping, the reaction solution was further stirred for 3 hours. The reaction solution was poured to 100 mL of water and then an extract was obtained therefrom by using toluene, followed by washing with water three times. The toluene solution was dried with anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and then the solvent was distilled away to purify the toluene solution by silica gel chromatography using a mixture solvent of hexane/ethyl acetate (5/1) as an eluent to thereby synthesize 3.21 g (yield: 40% by mass) of p-benzyl-ethylaminophenethyl acrylate of the exemplified compound No. 22 represented by the following structural formula.
