Participants

Reaction Steps

According to the general procedure B, 2-bromotoluene (171 mg, 1.00 mmol) reacted with morpholine (104 mg, 1.20 mmol) using 1 mol % of catalyst and sodium tert-butoxide (134 mg, 1.40 mmol) at room temperature for 43 h to give the title compound (70 mg, 40%) as an oil after purification: 1H-NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3): δ 7.22-7.18 (m, 2H), 7.06-7.00 (m, 2H), 3.87 (t, 4H, J=4.5 Hz), 2.93 (t, 4H, J=4.5 Hz), 2.34 (s, 3H). GC/MS(EI): m/z 177 (M+).
