Participants

Reaction Steps

A 500 ml flask is charged with isopropanol (200 mL), MEHQ (methylhydroquinone, 0.5 g), N-(3-bromopropyl)phthalimide (53.6 g, 0.2 mole) and DMAPMA (N-[3-(dimethylamino)propyl]methacrylamide, 37.5 g, 0.22 mole). The mixture is heated at reflux for 12 hours. The solution is then cooled down and the majority of the solvent was removed by vacuum distillation. The resulting viscous liquid is put into freezer overnight. The resulting precipitate is dried and collected to provide the title compound in near quantitative yield.
