Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Into a flask, 129 g (1.0 mole) of 1-aminooctane and 100 ml of methanol were charged, and then 89 g (1.0 mole) of 2-nitropropane were dropped into the flask maintained at about 40° C over a period of about 30 minutes. After that, upon maintaining the mixture at the same temperature for 30 minutes, crystals were precipitated to give slurry. The reaction mixture was cooled to a temperature of 5° C and then filtered. The filtered precipitates were washed with 30 ml of cold methanol and dried under reduced pressure to obtain 213 g of 1-octylammonium 2-nitropropan-2-ide with a yield of 97.7%.
