Methyl iodide → (S)-1-(3-methoxyphenyl)-N-methyl-N-((S)-1-phenylethyl)ethanamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

In another embodiment, the second approach: The methylation reaction is carried out using (S)-1-(3-methoxy phenyl)-N—((S)-1-phenylethyl)ethylamine as a raw material, and methyl iodide or dimethyl sulfate as a methylation agent, so as to obtain (S)-1-(3-methoxyphenyl)-N-methyl-N—[(S)-1-phenylethyl]ethylamine. Methyl iodide or dimethyl sulfate are conventional methylation agents, and the method is common in the art. See OS, CV4, 836 (1963); OS, CV3, 753 (1955), which are incorporated herewith by reference in their entireties.
