Dimethylamine → HCID 13446053, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Dimethylamine is introduced while stirring into a boiling solution of 52.8 g (0.3 mole) 2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1-benzoxepin-3,5-dione and a spatula tip of p-toluene sulfonic acid in 225 ml toluene. The water of reaction is separated by a water separator. After the reaction has ended, the solution is concentrated, the remaining residue is filtered under suction and recrystallized from chloroform/ether. 42 g (69% of the theoretical yield) of 3-dimethylamino-1-benzoxepin-5(2H)-one are obtained. This compound displays a melting point of 136-136° C.
