Isopropyl iodide → 3-Isopropoxy-N,N-dimethylaniline

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-(dimethylamino)phenol (2.0 g, 14.60 mmol) in acetone (40.0 mL) were added K2CO3 (20.2 g, 146.0 mmol) and 2-iodopropane (2.20 mL, 21.90 mmol), and the reaction was refluxed for 18 h, then cooled to room temperature, and filtered through Celite. The solvent was removed under vacuum, and the residue was purified by silica gel chromatography using ethyl acetate (20%) and hexanes (80%) as eluent to produce Compound 135 as yellow oil.
