2-Methoxyethylamine → HCID 19681766, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

6.4 ml of 2-methoxyethylamine (5.5 g, 73.7 mmol) and 10.2 ml of triethylamine (7.4 g, 73.7 mmol) were dissolved at room temperature in 72 ml of methylene chloride. Likewise at room temperature 9.6 ml of n-butanesulfonyl chloride (11.5 g, 73.7 mmol) were added dropwise to this solution over the course of one hour. After 1 h of stirring at room temperature the reaction mixture was washed twice with 100 ml of water. The organic phase was dried over magnesium sulphate, the methylene chloride was distilled off and the oily residue which remained was dried in vacuo. This gave 12.4 g of the target compound, whose constitution was verified by NMR spectroscopy.
