Sodium Hydroxide → HCID 14553811, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

2,6-Dimethylmorpholine (1.16 g) was added to 3-(m-phenoxyphenyl)-2-methylpropyl p-toluenesulfonate (0.8 g) at room temperature, and the resultant mixture was stirred at 100° C. for 30 minutes. The reaction mixture was made basic with addition of water (100 ml) and 15% aqueous sodium hydroxide solution (10 ml) thereto and extracted with diethyl ether (50 ml×3). The ether extracts were combined together, washed with saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution, dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by column chromatography to give 4-[3-(m-phenoxyphenyl)-2-methylpropyl]-2,6-dimethylmorpholine (trans-isomer, 0.16 g; cis-isomer, 0.41 g).
