Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1-(2-bromo-ethyl)-4-nitro-benzene (0.740 g, 3.22 mmol), morpholine (0.840 mL, 9.65 mmol), and sodium iodide (0.480 g, 3.22 mmol) in N,N-dimethylacetamide (3 mL) was heated at 80° C. for 10 min. The mixture was diluted with 30 mL EtOAc and washed with H2O (2×30 mL) and brine (30 mL) and dried over Na2SO4 to give the title compound as a yellow oil of sufficient purity to use in the next step. Mass spectrum (ESI, m/z): Calcd. for C12H16N2O3, 237.1 (M+H). found 237.2.
