Reaction Steps

In a reaction vessel provided with a carbon dioxide condenser, a mixture of 6.18 g (0.015 mol) of Bu3Sn(CH2)3Br and 20 ml of Me2NH was refluxed for 7 h. The residue obtained after evaporation of the excess of Me2NH was taken up in 30 ml of diethyl ether and treated for 15 min with 50 ml of a 10% aqueous solution of NaHCO3. Distillation gave 4.95 g (86%) of (3-dimethylaminopropyl)tributyltin.
