Ethanolamine → N-(1-Cyclohexyloxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-4-yl)-N'-(2-hydroxyethyl)oxamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 9.1 grams (26.7 mmol) of methyl N-(1-cyclohexyloxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-4-yl)oxamate, 1.8 grams (29.4 mmol) of ethanolamine and 35 ml of toluene is heated at reflux for 30 minutes. Methanol is removed from the reaction mixture by fractional distillation. The reaction mixture is poured into ethyl acetate (125 ml) to afford 6.3 grams (64% yield) of the title compound as a white solid melting at 190°-192° C.
