Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 17.7 g (0.149 mole) benzotriazole and 18 g (0.149 mole) of phenethylamine in 700 mL of ether was added dropwise 12 mL (0.149 mole) of 37% aqueous formaldehyde. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight. The solution was dried over calcium chloride, filtered and concentrated under pressure. Hexane was added under ice-cooled bath and the resulting solid was collected by filtration and washed with hexane dried to give 38.0 g of benzotriazol-1-ylmethyl-phenethyl-amine as a light yellow oil).
