Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of N-benzyl-N-(2-phenylethyl)amine (351 mg) and diisopropyl-ethylamine (145 mg) in dimethylformamide (1.5 ml) was added 3-[[(methylsulfonyl)oxy]methyl]-4-phenylmethoxybenzaldehyde (355 mg). After stirring at room temperature for 3 hours, the reaction mixture was partially concentrated under reduced pressure and the residue was purified by flash chromatography column using petroleum ether:diethyl ether (1:3) as eluant. The pure fractions were combined and evaporated under reduced pressure to give 4-phenylmethoxy-3-[[N-phenylmethyl-N-(2-phenylethyl)amino]methyl]benzaldehyde (420 mg) as a gum. 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ9.89 (s, 1H, CHO); 5.20 (s, 2H); 3.88 (s, 2H); 3.85 (s, 2H); 2.92 (m, 4H, CH2CH2).
