2-Chloroethyl methyl ether → HCID 12183844, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Pyrrolidine (Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd.), 1.51 parts by weight, and 2-methoxyethyl chloride (Kanto Chemical Co., Inc.), 1.00 part by weight, were mixed together and reacted for 1 hour under refluxing. Following the reaction, the reaction mixture was separated into two phases, then left to cool for a while, whereupon the bottom phase solidified. The top phase alone was collected by decantation, and purification was carried out by vacuum distillation. This distillation gave 0.96 part by weight of the target substance N-2-methoxyethylpyrrolidine (boiling point, 76° C.; vapor pressure, 45 mmHg) in a yield of 70%.
