Participants

Reaction Steps

Using the method of Example 5, supra, 1,2-epoxy-3-phenoxypropane (600 mg, 4 mmol) and 1,1-dimethyl-2-phenylethylamine (596 mg, 4 mmol) yielded the title compound: GC/EI-MS, m/z (rel. int.) 284 (M+1, 1), 208 (100), 162 (1), 133 (7), 91 (27), 77 (15), 70 (22). The free base in diethyl ether was treated with excess 1M HCl (diethyl ether). The resulting solid was recrystallized from hot acetonitrile to afford 596 mg of the hydrochloride product as a white solid.
