Dimethylamine → HCID 20138881, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of titanium tetrachloride (53.8 g, 31.2 ml) in dry toluene (200 ml) is added over a period of 45 minutes to a stirred solution of 7-methoxy-1-tetralone (100.5 g) and dimethyl amine (171 g) in dry toluene (2 l) while maintaining a reaction temperature of ≤10° C. When the addition of the titanium is complete, the ice bath is removed and the solution allowed to reach RT. The solution is stirred at RT for 3 hours. The solids are filtered, washed with dry toluene and the filtrate evaporated in vacuo, yielding 101.4 g of an amber oil which is used in the next step without further treatment.
