Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of trans-stilbene oxide (1.96 g, 0.010 mol) and 2-ethoxyethylamine (2.67 g, 0.030 mol) was heated at 140° C. for 6 hours. After standing at ambient temperature for 10 hours, the solidified reaction mixture was triturated with isooctane and filtered to obtain a white solid (2.28 g, 80% yield) that was recrystallized from isooctane; mp 128°-130° C.
