Participants

Reaction Steps

To a cooled (−10° C.) solution of methyl-3-(bromomethyl)benzoate (22.9 g, 100 mmol) in ether (250 ml) was added dimethylamine hydrochloride salt (17.9 g, 220 mmol) followed by slow addition of triethylamine (30.6 ml, 220 mmol). The mixture was then allowed to warm to r.t. over 48 h, the solids were filtered off and the filter-cake washed with ether. The yellow oil remaining after evaporation of the solvent was distilled over a Vigreux column to afford the title compound (10.7 g, 55% yield) as a colorless oil. MS: m/e=193 (M+).
