Participants

Reaction Steps

In a manner similar to (i), erucic acid (3.39 g) was converted to its acid chloride, to which was added a 40% aqueous solution of methylamine. The mixture was stirred for 30 minutes under ice-cooling. The reaction mixture was subjected to extraction with isopropyl ether. The extract was dried and concentrated. The concentrate was recrystallized from hexane to afford pale orange crystals [1.80 g (yield 51%)], m.p. 48 to 49° C.
