Triethylamine → N-[[2-(4-Methoxybenzyl)-2H-[1,2,4]triazol-3-yl]methyl]methylamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

[2-(4-Methoxybenzyl)-2H-[1,2,4]triazol-3-yl]methanol (0.50 g, 2.28 mmol) was dissolved in dichloromethane (10 ml), then triethylamine (0.36 ml, 2.60 mmol) was added. With cooling with ice, methanesulfonyl chloride (0.20 ml, 2.58 mmol) was added, followed by stirring at room temperature for 2 hours. The reaction liquid was concentrated, ethyl acetate was added, followed by washing. After drying over anhydrous sodium sulfate, the solvent was evaporated away under reduced pressure, and the resulting residue was dissolved in tetrahydrofuran (25 ml), then aqueous methylamine solution (40%, 5 ml) was added. After stirring at room temperature for 3 days, the reaction liquid was concentrated. This was diluted with ethyl acetate, washed with water, and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated away under reduced pressure to obtain a pale yellow oil (0.44 g, 83%).
