Dimethylamine → HCID 13747245, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Dimethylamine (33% in ethanol, 156 ml) was added to a stirred suspension of methyl 5-(bromoacetyl)-2-(phenylmethoxy)benzoate (105.8 g) in absolute ethanol (1 l) and THF (1 l). The resulting solution was stirred at RT for 2 h, treated with NaBH4 (25 g) and stirred at RT overnight. The solvent was removed in vacuo and H2O (500 ml) was added to the residue. The mixture was extracted with EA (2×500 ml), the combined extracts were washed with H2O and BR, dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated in vacuo. The product was purified twice by [FCS] eluted with EA-methanol-triethylamine (80:20:1) to give the title compound as a fawn solid (59.8 g) m.p. 79°-81°.
