N-Methylbenzylamine → 6-[3-(N-methyl-N-benzylamino)-2-hydroxypropoxy]carbostyril

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 6-(3-chloro-2-hydroxypropoxy)-carbostyril (5.05 g) and N-methylbenzylamine (6.0 g) in dimethylformamide (50 ml) is heated with stirring at 50°-60° C. for 5 hours. The solvent is distilled off under reduced pressure and the resulting residue is purified by silica gel column chromatography (solvent; methanol:chloroform=1:100-1:25) and recrystallized from ethanol to give 6-[3-(N-methyl-N-benzylamino)-2-hydroxypropoxy]carbostyril (2.5 g), as white powder, m.p. 129°-132° C.
