Participants

Reaction Steps

Using the method of Example 5, supra, 1,2-epoxydodecane (240 μL, 1.0 mmol) and 1,1-dimethyl-2-(4-methoxyphenyl)ethylamine (197 mg, 1.1 mmol) were used to prepare 68 mg of the title compound as a clear, colorless oil: GC/EI-MS, m/z (rel. int.) 363 (M+1, 0.2), 348 (2), 242 (100), 224 (8), 163 (7), 121 (20); 1H-NMR (CDCl3) δ 7.08 (2H, d, J=8.4), 6.83 (2H, d, J=8.4), 3.79 (3H, s), 3.50 (1H, m), 2.78 (1H, dd, J=11.8 and 3.1), 2.66 (2H, s), 2.41 (1H, dd, J=11.5 and 9.3), 1.26 (18 H, m), 1.07 (6H, s), 0.88 (3H, t, J=6.5); 13C-NMR (CDCl3) δ 158.2, 131.4, 129.9, 113.4, 76.9, 70.0, 55.2, 53.6, 47.8, 46.6, 35.1, 31.9, 29.7, 29.6, 29.3, 26.7, 26.5, 25.7, 22.7, 14.1; FT-IR (film) cm-1 3386, 1612, 1512, 1246, 1039, 824.
