Methylamine → HCID 15042210, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 1-chlorocarbonyl-3-(3-chlorophenoxy) azetidine (0.01275 mole) in 20 ml of tetrahydrofuran was treated with 4 ml (0.05 mole) of 40% aqueous methylamine and stirred for 16 hr. The reaction mixture was diluted with water until an oil began to separate, then extracted with 3×50 ml of benzene. The combined extracts were dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated to a solid which was recrystallized from benzene/ligoin to yield 1.2 g (40.0%) of fine white crystals, m.p. 140°-141° C.
