Participants

Reaction Steps

According to a procedure similar to that of Embodiment 5, a mixture of m-aminophenol (5.0 g, 45.8 mmol), 1-bromo-3-chloropropane (23.9 g, 15 ml, 150 mmol) and ethanol (50 ml) was heated and refluxed. NaHCO3 (10.0 g, 119 mmol) aqueous solution (20 ml) was added slowly. After 24 hours of reflux, 3.4 g of 8-hydroxyjulolidine was obtained in 39% yield.
