Trityl chloride → 3-(Tritylamino)propan-1-ol

Participants

Reaction Steps

3-(Tritylamino)-1-propanol was prepared according to the literature procedure (J.Heterocycl.Chem.; 1993, 30, 1197). To a solution of 3-amino-1-propanol (15.0 g/200 mmol) in THF (100 ml) was added a solution of tritylchloride (23.2 g/83.3 mmol) in THF (100 ml) dropwise at 0° C., and then the resulting solution was stirred at room temperature for 4 days. The solution was evaporated. The resulting residue was dissolved in water (100 ml) and dichloromethane (100 ml). The organic layer was separated. The aqueous layer was extracted with dichloromethane (100 ml×2). The combined organic layer was washed with brine (30 ml), dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated. The residue was purified by recrystallization from toluene/hexane to afford a white crystal. (21.0 g/80%).
