Reaktionsschritte

22 ml (55 mmoles) of a 2.5M solution of butyl lithium in hexane are added to 12.62g (50 mmoles) of 4,4-dimethyl-2-undecyl-2-imidazoline in 50 ml of anhydrous benzene at a temperature kept at around 20° C. The mixture is then stirred for 2 hours at ambient temperature (15° to 20° C.). 8.22 g (60 mmoles) of 1 -bromobutane is then added dropwise to the reaction mixture, keeping the temperature at around 20° C. The reaction mixture is then stirred at ambient temperature until it is homogeneous, after which it is refluxed for 3 hours. After cooling, 50 ml of water is added, the mixture is stirred for half hour, decanted and extracted with 100 ml of ether. After drying over magnesium sulfate the solvent is removed in vacuo and the oil is distilled at reduced pressure to give 10.34 g (67%) of the product.
