Morpholine → 3-Morpholino-1-propanol

To a cooled (0° C., ice bath) solution of morpholine (31.5 ml, 0.36 mole) in toluene (300 ml) was added 3-bromopropanol (25 g, 0.18 mole) under argon. The cooling bath was then removed, the resulting mixture was warmed to room temperature, and stirred at room temperature for 1 hr. The mixture was heated at 100° C. (bath temperature) for 3 hrs under argon. After cooling, the mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed (brine), dried (MgSO4), and concentrated. The residue was chromatographed (silica gel, elution by 1:1 CH2Cl2-hexane) to give the title compound as a clear oil.
