Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of cyclohexene oxide (3.64 mL, 36.0 mmol) in 30 mL of dry methanol was added dropwise 2.0 M dimethylamine in THF (15.0 mL, 30.0 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 4 h. The solution was then warmed to room temperature and stirred for 18 h. The reaction mixture was then concentrated under reduced pressure to afford 1.11 g (26% crude yield) of the crude product which was used in the following reaction without purification.
