Allyl bromide → HCID 19702703, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of N-methyl-2-(2-hydroxyethyl)-4-nitrobenzenamine (4.90 g, 0.025 mol) in NMP (15 ml) is added allyl bromide (4.55 g, 0.037 mol) at room temperature. The mixture is heated to 85°-90° C. for 6 hours and cooled to room temperature. The mixture is diluted with 1M sodium carbonate solution (250 ml) and extracted with ether twice (250 and 150 ml portions). The extracts are washed with water twice, dried over potassium carbonate and concentrated to a solid. The solid is purified by chromatography on silica gel with hexane-tetrahydrofuran solvent to give N-allyl-N-methyl-2-(2-hydroxyethyl)-4-nitrobenzenamine.
