Trimethylamine → HCID 13477575, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

0.70 g of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid, 0.59 g of 4 and 0.44 ml of trimethylamine were mixed with 75 ml of methylene chloride, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes. Then, 0.65 g of N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide was added and the mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight. Several drops of glacial acetic acid were added and the mixture was filtered. The filtrate was washed successively with water, 1N hydrochloric acid, and half-saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution, dried (Na2SO4) and stripped of solvent. The residue was triturated with ethyl acetate, the mixture was filtered and the solvent was evaporated from the filtrate under reduced pressure. The solid residue was triturated with hexane, the mixture was filtered and the solvent was evaporated from the filtrate. The solid residue was chromatographed over silica gel, first with a 1:3 v:v mixture of ethyl acetate and hexane as eluent, then with a 1:1 v:v mixture of ethyl acetate and hexane as eluent. On workup, 16 was obtained, as a white solid.
