Participants

Reaction Steps

The title compound was prepared in a manner analogous to Example 1. The components were ar-vinyl-benzyl chloride (approximately 95% para isomer, 0.249 mol.), potassium carbonate (50.0 g.), anhydrous methanol (1000 ml.) and 2-methylaziridine (70 ml.; 0.974 mol.). Distillation of the crude product (a brown oil) gave 7.6 g. of a water-white liquid boiling at about 85°C. under 0.2-0.3 mm. of Hg pressure. VPC analysis showed this fraction to contain 87.1% of the desired product. The product was obtained from the VPC fractionation and its structure confirmed by IR, NMR and elemental analysis.
