Participants

Reaction Steps

Triethylene tetramine (2.93 g, 0.02 moles) in dichloromethane (100 ml) was added drop wise over 6 hrs to a solution of acryloyl chloride (7.24 g, 0.08 moles) in dichloromethane (40 ml), stirring vigorously at room temperature. The reaction was stirred at room temperature overnight and the suspension was filtered. The filtrate was extracted with NaOH(aq). The water was rotary evaporated and the residue was washed with acetone and filtered. The acetone washings were concentrated down and the yellow oil remaining was put through a silica gravity chromatography column with acetone as the elutant. A yellow solid was obtained and recrystallized with cold diethyl ether to give white crystals, m.p. 107-109.5° C. 1H n.m.r (D2)) δ6.60(4 H, m) CH═CH2;6.16 (6 H, m), CH═CH2; 5.79(2 H, m), CH═CH2;3.61 (6 H, m) N—CH2—CH2,3.52(6 H, m) N—CH2—CH2. 13C n.m.r (D2)) δ172.52, 172.39, 171.78, 171.70 (C═O); 132.70, 132.55, 132.14, 131.74 (CH═CH2), 130.52, 130.32, 129.93, 129.64 (CH═CH2), 50.35, 49.82, 49.35, 48.31, 47.33, 46.05 (NH—CH2—CH2).
