Benzyl Bromide → HCID 67436496, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1.95 g (0.01 mole) of 4-aminophenoxyisobutyric acid, 25 ml of ethanol, 1.76 g (0.02 mole) of potassium carbonate and 1.2 ml (0.01 mole) of benzyl bromide was stirred and refluxed for 24 hours. Most of the ethanol was evaporated. The residue was dissolved in water, charcoaled, filtered, and acidified water acetic acid to give an oily material which by cooling turned into a solid with a melting point of 194-196° C. The structure (shown below as Formula EX1) was confirmed by NMR spectroscopy.
