Participants

Reaction Steps

A scintillation vial was charged with benzylamine (1 g, 10 mmol), anhydrous petroleum ether (10 ml) and a stir bar. To this was added (S)-(+)-epichlorohydrin (0.925 g, 10 mmol) dropwise over a period of 20 min and the mixture was allowed to stir at room temperature. After 15 h, the white crystals precipitated from solution. These were collected by suction filtration, rinsed with cold petroleum ether (10 ml) and dried under vacuum to provide the title compound (1.0 g, 50%). Mass spectrum (ESI) 200.1 (M+1).
