Reaction Steps

In this example, 1.7 g of 1-(4-ethoxycarbonylmethylphenoxy)-3-(1-methyl-3-phenylpropylamino)-2-propanol (Compound 14) is dissolved in 100 ml of ethanol and the solution is poured into a pressure tube. Then, 100 ml of liquid ammonia is added thereto. The tube is sealed and is allowed to stand for 10 days at room temperature. After completion of the reaction, ethanol is distilled away from the solution under reduced pressure. The residue is recrystallized from methylisobutylketone to obtain 0.9 g of 1-(4-carbamoylmethylphenoxy)-3-(1-methyl-3-phenylpropylamino)-2-propanol. (Yield: 57%)
