Morpholine → Moclobemide

Participants

Reaction Steps

55.4 G. of p-chlorobenzoylaziridine and 26.5 g. of morpholine are boiled in 250 ml. of toluene for 2 hours under reflux. The solution is then cooled to room temperature, whereupon crystals separate out. The solution which crystallizes is allowed to stand overnight in a refrigerator. Thereafter, the product is removed by filtration, washed with toluene and recrystallized from isopropanol, and 75.9 g. of p-chloro-N-(2-morpholinoethyl)-benzamide are obtained, which is identical to the product obtained in Example 1.
