Bis(2-bromoethyl) ether → 1352306-49-0

Bis(2-bromoethyl)ether (2.3 g, 10 mmol) was added to (S)-2-aminopropan-1-ol (3.8 g, 50 mmol) at rt with vigorous stirring. The reaction slowly exothermed, and the internal temperature peaked at 42° C. after 19 min. After 24 h, the reaction was diluted with dichloromethane (10 mL) and quenched with sat'd potassium carbonate solution (10 mL). Water (˜2.5 mL) was added to the heterogeneous mixture until the solids dissolved. The layers were separated, and the aqueous layer was extracted with dichloromethane (10 mL×2). The organic layers were combined, dried (MgSO4), filtered, concentrated, and purified by silica gel chromatography (10:7; ethyl acetate:hexanes→10:7:2:1; ethyl acetate:hexanes:methanol:triethylamine) to give 1.27 g of (S)-2-morpholinopropan-1-ol. 1H NMR (DMSO-d6): δ 4.29 (dd, 1H), 3.54 (t, 4H), 3.45 (ddd, 1H), 3.25 (ddd, 1H), 2.54-2.40 (m, 5H), 0.92 (d, 3H); MS: 146.1 (M+H)+.
