Reaction Steps

A stirred mixture of 3.4 g of 3-methoxy-N-propyl-benzeneethanamine, 4 g of potassium carbonate and 15 ml of cyclopentyl bromide was refluxed for one hour after which 5 g of potassium carbonate were added thereto and the mixture was refluxed for another 3 hours. The mixture was poured into 50 ml of water and the mixture was extracted 3 times with 50 ml of ether. The organic phase was dried and filtered and the filtrate was evaporated to dryness to obtain 4.5 g of N-cyclopentyl-3-methoxy-N-propylbenzeneethanamine in the form of a red oil which was used as is for the next step.
