Triethylamine → N-Ethyl-N-[(oxiran-2-yl)methyl]aniline

Temperature

0 °C

Methanesulfonyl chloride (2.5 mL, 1.5 eq.) was added to a solution 3-(ethyl-phenyl-amino)-propane-1,2-diol (4.22 g, 21.6 mmol) and triethylamine (9.03 mL, 3.0 eq.) in dichloromethane (20 mL) at −30 to −35° C. and the resulting mixture was stirred and warmed to 0° C. The reaction was quenched by sat. NaHCO3 (30 mL) and the separated aqueous phase was extracted with 2×20 mL CH2Cl2 and 20 mL EtOAc. The combined extracts were dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated. The residue was dissolved in MeOH (30 mL) and treated with NaOMe (2.3 g, 2.0 eq.) at 65-70° C. for 3 h. After cooling to room temperature, the mixture was diluted with sat. NaHCO3 (50 mL) and extracted with 3×30 mL of EtOAc. The combined extracts were dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated and the product was purified by chromatography (10% EtOAc/hexanes) to give ethyl-oxiranylmethyl-phenyl-amine (1.72 g, 45%).
