Aminoacetaldehyde dimethyl acetal → HCID 69993910, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 8.7 ml (79.85 mmol) aminoacetaldehyde dimethylacetal in 60 ml toluene at reflux is added dropwise a solution of 10 g (31.94 mmol) 4-(6-bromohexyloxy)butylbenzene in 40 ml toluene. After maintaining the reaction mixture under reflux for 4 hr, toluene is evaporated off under reduced pressure, and 50 ml CH2Cl2 is added thereto. The resulting solution is stirred for 15 min together with a solution of 20 ml 47% HBr diluted with 20 ml H2O. The reaction mixture is allowed to decant and the crude product obtained as a result of evaporating the CH2Cl2 phase to dryness is triturated with Et2O and filtered, thereby affording 4.31 g (32.3%) N-dimethoxyethyl-6-(4-phenylbutoxy)hexylamine hydrobromide.
