Allyl bromide → N-(2,4-Dimethoxybenzyl)prop-2-EN-1-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

0.32 ml of allylbromide (3.66 mmol) and 0.7 ml of diisopropyl ethylamine (3.99 mmol) were added to the reaction solution containing 500 mg of 2,4-dimethoxybenzylamine (3.33 mmol) dissolved in methylene chloride with stirring and the solution was left alone at room temperature. After the reaction mixture was neutralized with 10% NaOH solution, the mixture was extracted with chloroform, washed with saturated NaCl solution, dried over MgSO4, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. The resulting compound was purified with Silica gel column chromatography with a solvent mixture mixed with methanol and chloroform (1:9) as an eluant to give 276 mg of allyl-(2,4-dimethoxybenzyl)amine (1b) (yield: 40%).
