Reaction Steps

A solution of bis(2-chloroethyl)benzylamine, hydrochloride (3.4 g 12.6 mmol) in iced water (10 mL) is made alcaline with a 5N aqueous solution of sodium hydroxyde. Extraction with ethyl acetate, drying of the organic phase over magnesium sulphate and evaporation under reduced pressure affords bis(2-chloroethyl)benzylamine.
