Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 1-aminopropylene (10.6 grams, 0.186 mol) in methanol was added to a methanolic solution of 3-phenylpropyleneoxide (5.07 grams, 0.037 mol) and the mixture heated to reflux for 30 minutes. The mixture was allowed to warm to room temperature and concentrated in vacuo to yield 7.2 grams (99%) of N-allyl-3-phenyl-2-hydroxypropylamine. 1H NMR (CDCl3, dTMS) 7.34-7.18 (5H, m, Ar--H), 5.84 (1H, ddt, 3JHH =17.1 Hz, 3JHH =10.2 Hz, 3JHH =6 Hz, CH2CH), 5.2-5.0 (2H, m, CH=CH2), 3.86 (1H, m, CHOH), 3.19 (2H, m, NCH2CH=CH2), 2.76-2.66 (3H, m, NCH2CH(OH)CHHPh), 2.50 (1H, dd 2JHH =12 Hz, 3JHH =9 Hz). 13C NMR (CDCl3) 138.4, 136.5, 129.3, 128.4, 126.3, 116.0, 70.6, 54.0, 51.9, 41.7.
