N-Carbethoxyphthalimide → 5-Phthalimido-1-pentanol

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 5-amino-1-pentanol (5.00 g, 48.5 mmol) in benzene (150 mL) was added N-carboethoxyphthalimide (11.0 g, 50.2 mmol) and the solution was stirred at room temperature for 5 h). The solvents were removed under reduced pressure to yield a yellow oil. Purification by flash column chromatography using 25% ethyl acetate in petroleum ether yielded the target compound as a clear colorless oil (9.6 mg, 84%).
