Isopropylamine → 3-Isopropylamino-1,2-propanediol

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 37 g (0.5 mole) of glycidol and 35.4 g (0.6 mole) of isopropylamine was stirred at 25° overnight. Excess isopropylamine was evaporated in vacuo and the mixture was distilled to give 53 g of product: b.p. 80° C./0.1 mm Hg. The NMR and IR spectra were consistent with the assigned structure and the elemental analysis was consistent with the empirical formula C6H15O2N.
