Diethylamine → HCID 20272236, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Into a one-liter 3-necked flask equipped with stirrer, condenser, addition funnel, and thermometer here was charged, 200 g of the above (3-brompropyl)triphenylphosphonium bromide, and 650 ml ethanol. There was then added dropwise, 240 ml of diethylamine at 50° C. with stirring. After 18 hours at 65° C., the solution was concentrated to an oil and the residue was redissolved in 500 ml ethanol. The solution was again concentrated to a solid. The resulting brown solid was slurried in 500 ml of hot tetrahydrofuran and filtered. The crystal were recrystallized from tetrahydrofuran containing a small amount of ethanol to give 230 g of (3-diethylaminopropyl)triphenylphosphonium bromide hydrobromide (M.P. 239°-241° C.).
