Participants

Reaction Steps

2-[4-[(6-Bromohexyl)oxy]butoxy]naphthalene (2.25 g) and benzylamine (3.88 g) were stirred under nitrogen at ca. 125° for 2 h. The solution was diluted with 8% sodium bicarbonate (100 ml) and extracted with diethyl ether (2×100 ml), dried and evaporated in vacuo to give an oil.
