Methyl bromoacetate → methyl 2-[N-(2-cyclohex-1-enyl)ethylamino]acetate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of methyl bromoacetate (5 g, 32.7 mmol) in DCM (150 mL) was added 2-(1-cyclohexenyl)ethylamine (11.4 ml, 81.71 mmol) over 5 min. After 2 h, the solvent was removed and the residue purified on silica gel (Merck 60; (1:9) ethyl acetate/hexane) to afford methyl 2-[N-(2-cyclohex-1-enyl)ethylamino]acetate (5.0 g, 78%).
