Potassium Carbonate → HCID 86750386, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1-(3-chloropropoxy)-4-nitrobenzene (4.6 g), 3,4,5-trimethoxy-N-methylbenzenemethanamine (4.1 g; Sigma) and potassium carbonate (2.9 g) in DMF (60 ml) was heated at 70° for 24 h. The mixture was then filtered and the filtrate evaporated. The residue was taken up in water and extracted with dichloromethane. The organic layer was washed with water, dried, evaporated and purified by column chromatography eluting with dichloromethane/methanol (99:1) to give the title compound (5.8 g) as a yellow oil. NMR includes signals at d 2.15 (3H,s,N-CH3), 3.3 (2H,s,CH2 --Ar), 3.7 (9H,s,OCH3).
