Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of acrylamide (32 g) in ethanol (450 mL) was added benzylamine (59 mL), and the mixture was stirred at 60° C. overnight. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure, and the residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (eluent: n-hexane/ethyl acetate=1/1-dichloromethane/methanol=50/1) to give the title compound (73.2 g).
