Potassium Hydroxide → 2-(3-(Prop-1-en-2-yl)phenyl)propan-2-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

13.6 g of 1-methyl-1-[3-(1-methylethenyl)phenyl]ethyl isocyanate were dissolved in 30 ml of isopropyl alcohol, and 19.0 g of potassium hydroxide were then added to the solution, followed by stirring for 3 hours under heating and reflux. Afterward, the solution was concentrated under reduced pressure, and then poured into ice water. After extraction with dichloromethane, the resultant extract was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solution was concentrated under reduced pressure again to obtain 10.5 g of 1-methyl-1-[3-(1-methylethenyl)phenyl]ethylamine.
