Participants

Reaction Steps

1-(2'-hydroxyethyl)-2,2,4,7-tetramethyl decahydroquinoline was prepared. 75 grams of 2,2,4,7-tetramethyl decahydroquinoline in 50 milliliters of ethylene glycol was reacted with ethylene oxide added over a period of 14 hours at a reaction temperature of 200° C. The reactor mix was distilled to yield a liquid product which boiled at 102° C. at 0.1 mm of Hg and which was 98% pure as determined by vapor pressure chromatography. The infrared and NMR spectra were consistent with the desired product. Calculated contents for the formula C15H29NO are 75.26% carbon, 12.21% hydrogen, and 5.85% nitrogen while measured contents were 74.78% carbon, 12.30% hydrogen, and 5.50% nitrogen.
