Diethylamine → HCID 12828476, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 5.0 g of 1-chloromethyl-6-methoxyisochroman and 30 ml of diethylamine was heated in a sealed tube at 150°-160° C for 21 hours and, after cooling, the reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was diluted with 100 ml of water and extracted with chloroform. The extract was rinsed with water, dried and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was chromatographed on a column of silica gel, and elution was carried out with a 1:2 mixture of benzene and methanol. The oily product thus obtained was converted to the fumarate and recrystallized from a mixture of methanol and ether. By the above procedure was obtained 1.9 g of 1-diethylaminomethyl-6-methoxyisochroman fumarate as colorless prisms.
