Triethylamine → HCID 20499868, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of monophenyl potassium epoxysuccinate (1.23 g) in ethyl ether (30 ml), oxalyl chloride (0.7 g) in ethyl ether was added dropwise with stirring under ice-cooling and the mixture was stirred for an hour at room temperature. To the reaction mixture, a solution of methylamine hydrochloride (0.5 g) and triethylamine (1.5 g) in ethyl ether was added dropwise with stirring under ice-cooling, and the mixture was stirred for an additional hour at room temperature. The precipitate produced was filtered off and the filtrate was washed with a saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution, dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated to dryness. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography using benzene as a developer to give 0.48 g of phenyl N-methyl-2,3-epoxysuccinamate (Compound No. 84) as colorless oil.
