Butanal → Benzenemethanamine, N-butyl-4-chloro-

Participants

Reaction Steps

Following a procedure analogous to that for the synthesis of Example 106, (4-chlorophenyl)methanamine (750 mg, 5.30 mmol) and butyraldehyde (480 μL, 5.30 mmol) were converted to the title compound (421 mg, 40%). 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ 7.55 (d, J=8.4 Hz, 2H), 7.41-7.34 (m, 2H), 3.98 (s, 2H), 2.78-2.70 (m, 2H), 1.79 (td, J=7.7, 15.6 Hz, 2H), 1.36 (qd, J=7.4, 15.1 Hz, 2H), 0.95-0.88 (m, 4H); MS(ESI+) m/z 198.1 (M+H)+.
