Reaction Steps

66.6 g of menthyl chloroformate (70% in toluene) were added to a mixture of 16.6 g of pyridine and 21.9 g n-butylamine in 100 mL toluene at 0° C. over a period of 50 minutes. After stirring for 12 hours at room temperature, 100 mL of 2M HCl and subsequently 50 mL water were added, the phases separated and the water phase discarded. After washing with saturated NaHCO3-solution and water the organic phase was dried and evaporated to yield 55.1 g of crude product which was recrystallized from 30 g n-heptane to give 34.5 g of the analytically pure product as white crystals.
