Methyl iodide → HCID 58612179, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Methyl iodide (0.728 mL, 11.7 mmol) was added to (4-nitro-benzyl)-[(2R)-tetrahydro-furan-2-ylmethyl]-amine Compound 10a2 (1.84 g, 7.80 mmol) and potassium carbonate (3.23 g, 23.4 mmol) in DMF (30 mL). After 4 hrs the reaction was diluted with water and extracted with ethyl ether. The combined extracts were washed with water, dried over MgSO4, and evaporated down to give 1.43 g of methyl-(4-nitro-benzyl)-[(2R)-tetrahydro-furan-2-ylmethyl]-amine Compound 10a3. Using the procedure of Example 21, Compound 10a3 was used in place of Compound 21a2 and carried forward to prepare 4-({methyl-[(2R)-tetrahydro-furan-2-ylmethyl]-amino}-methyl)-phenylamine Compound 10a.
