Participants

Reaction Steps

In 20 ml of ethanol was dissolved 2.70 g (10.0 millimoles) of 2-(2,4-dichlorophenoxy)ethyl bromide, and 1.06 g (10.0 millimoles) of anhydrous sodium carbonate and 3.87 g (30.0 millimoles) of n-octylamine were added to the solution. The mixture was refluxed for 6 hours on an oil bath. After cooling, the reaction mixture was poured into 100 ml of water and extracted with 20 ml of chloroform three times.
