Propylene Oxide → alpha,2,6-Trimethylmorpholin-4-ylethanol

Participants

Reaction Steps

The compound 2,6-dimethyl-N-(2-hydroxypropyl) morpholine was prepared by the method of Example 1 from 100.56 grams 2,6-dimethylmorpholine (0.87 moles) and 50.53 grams of propylene oxide (0.87 moles). Distillation of the reaction mixture gave 116.1 grams (76.8%) of the alcohol as a pale yellow oil, bp 70°-72° C. at 0.25 mm of Hg. The following elemental analysis was obtained: calc. 62.4 C, 11.1 H, 8.1 N; found 62.0 C, 10.8 H, 8.0 N.
