Butanal → Benzenemethanamine, N-butyl-3-chloro-

Participants

Reaction Steps

Following a procedure analogous to that for the synthesis of Example 106, (3-chlorophenyl)methanamine (750 mg, 5.30 mmol) and butyraldehyde (480 μL, 5.30 mmol) were converted to the title compound (331 mg, 32%). 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ 7.64-7.55 (m, 2H), 7.44-7.33 (m, 2H), 4.02 (s, 2H), 2.84-2.72 (m, 2H), 1.84 (td, J=7.8, 15.8 Hz, 2H), 1.38 (sxt, J=7.5 Hz, 2H), 0.91 (t, J=7.4 Hz, 3H); MS(ESI+) m/z 198.1 (M+H)+.
