Benzyl Bromide → HCID 69473827, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

2 g oxazole was reacted with 4.95 g benzyl bromide at room temperature for 2 hours and then overnight at 50° C. On cooling to room temperature, solids were filtered and dried. The yield was 3.1 g. The material was dissolved in ethanol and recrystalized with MTBE. The recrystallized compound had a melting point of 177–180° C. and proton NMR spectra consistent with the structure 3-benzyl-oxazol-3-ium bromide. On analysis the compound contained 50.00% C, 4.04% H, 36.36% Br, and 5.08% N.
