Trimethylamine → HCID 67234389, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

An appropriately sized container was charged under nitrogen with tetrahydrofuran (180 g, 202 mL), 2-bromoethyl norbornene (20.11 g, 100 mmol) and a stock solution of trimethylamine (45% aqueous 65.7 g 79.1 ml). The contents were stirred for 48 hours, at which time the solvents were removed under reduced pressure. A portion of drum grade toluene (200 ml, 173 g) was added. The solvents were then removed once again under reduced pressure with the toluene being useful to promote the azeotropic removal of water. The azeotropic removal of water was repeated with toluene (200 ml 173 g) and subsequently with heptane (200 ml, 136 g). The resulting powder was dried under vacuum for 18 hours.
