Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-aminotetralin (2.5 g) and 1-(4-acetamidophenoxy)-2,3-epoxypropane (3.52 g) in dimethylsulfoxide (40 ml) is heated at 80° C. for 5 hours. The reaction mixture is allowed to cool toat room temperature and water (180 ml) is then added thereto. The precipitate which forms is recovered by filtration and crystallized from absolute ethanol (120 ml) yielding 2.15 g of N-(1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphth-2-yl)-2-hydroxy-3-(4-acetamidophenoxy)-propanamine; m.p. 133°-136° C.
