Triethylamine → N-(3-bromopropyl)-2-(4-tetradecenylamino)benzamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a slurry of 21.80 g. of 3-bromopropylamine hydrobromide in 200 ml. of glyme at 3° C. is added a solution of 23.9 g. of 2-(4-tetradecenylamino)benzoyl chloride hydrochloride in 65 ml. of glyme, concurrently with 26 ml. of triethylamine diluted to 39 ml. with 1,2-dimethoxyethane. The solution is warmed to reflux and 0.2 g. of 4-dimethylaminopyridine is added. The solution is heated for four hours and cooled overnight. The solid is removed and the mother liquor diluted with 200 ml. of water to yield a solid which is crystallized from cyclohexane and recrystallized from acetonitrile to yield the product.
