Cyclohexanone → Morpholine, 4-(1-cyclohexen-1-yl)-

Participants

Reaction Steps

Illustratively, cyclohexanone may be reacted with morpholine by refluxing these reactants in toluene for a period of about three hours at a temperature of about 110° Centigrade (°C) to yield the preferred enamine reactant, 1-morpholino-1-cyclohexene, in a yield of about 94 percent together with water which is readily removed therefrom.
