Tert-Butylamine → HCID 559935, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of methyl 4-(2,3-epoxypropoxy)benzoate (prepared as described in Example I) (2.1 g, 0.01 mole), 10 mL of t-butylamine and 10 mL of methanol was heated to reflux for three hours. The reaction medium was then evaporated under reduced pressure to provide the amine as an oil. The free amine was crystallized from hexane-ethyl acetate in 65% yield: m.p. 88°-89° C. The NMR spectrum and elemental analysis were consistent with the assigned structure.
