N,N,N',N'-Tetramethylethylenediamine → HCID 19068203, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 5.6 g of 3-(1-bromoethyl)-1,2-benzisoxazole, 2.4 g of potassium acetate, 2.1 g of N,N,N,N-tetramethylethylenediamine and 50 ml of acetonitrile are refluxed for 14 h. After cooling and filtering the mixture, the filtrate is concentrated under vacuum and diluted with diethyl ether. The ether phase is washed once with water, then twice with a 10% solution of hydrochloric acid and finally washed once with a saturated solution of sodium chloride, dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated. The crude product is purified by chromatography over silica gel with ethyl acetate/hexane (1:3) to give 3-(1-acetoxyethyl)-1,2-benzisoxazole having a refractive index nD20 of 1.5229.
