Reaction Steps

N-(n-propyl) ethanolamine 2,4,6-trichlorophenylether, 11.3 gm, was added to 100 ml of methylene chloride. 5.6 ml of triethylamine was added to the system. The system was stirred at about -70° C for 5 minutes and then 3.5 ml of α-bromoacetyl bromide was added dropwise. The system was stirred at room temperature for an additional 18 hours. The reaction was stopped and the system poured into 100 ml of water. The product was extracted with methylene chloride. The organic solution was dried over magnesium sulfate and the methylene chloride was then removed by stripping to give the N-(α-bromoacetyl), N-(npropyl) ethanolamine 2,4,6-trichlorophenylether as a brown oil. Listed as Compound No. 3 in Table I.
