Diisopropylethylamine → HCID 58622888, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-bromo-N-butyl-2-methylaniline (700 mg, 2.89 mmol) in dry acetonitrile (75 mL) was added ethyl [4-(bromomethyl)-2-methylphenoxy]acetate (830 mg, 2.89 mmol) and N,N-diisopropylethylamine (331 μL, 1.9 mmol). The resultant mixture was heated at 80° C. for 3 h. The reaction mixture was cooled and the solvents removed in vacuo, diluted with water (50 mL) and extracted with CH2Cl2 (2×100 mL). The organic solution was dried (Na2SO4) and the solvents removed in vacuo. Purification by SPE (silica, 20 g) eluted with 100:2 to 100:5 cylclohexane:EtOAc afforded the title compound as a colourless oil (749 mg).
