2-Amino-2-methyl-1-propanol → 2-[3-(Imidazol-1-yl)propylamino]-2-methyl-1-propanol

Participants

Reaction Steps

3-(Imidazol-1-yl)propionaldehyde diethyl acetal (8.1 g) was converted into the free aldehyde, as described in Example 24, and then added to a mixture of 2-amino-2-methylpropanol (1.83 g) in acetonitrile (40 ml) and 4A molecular sieves (6.0 g). The mixture was reacted following the procedure of Example 24 to give 2-[3-(imidazol-1-yl)propylamino]-2-methyl-1-propanol, m.p. 81-85° C.
