2-Methylbenzenesulfonic acid → HCID 86741462, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of toluenesulphonic acid (3 g, 0.0159 mol) in a mixture of water:isopropanol (20 ml, 1:1) was cooled to 0° C. and treated with N-(n-octyl)ethanediamine (3 g, 0.0175 mol) in isopropanol (10 ml). The solution was allowed to warm to room temperature and the solvent removed under reduced pressure to yield a solid which was recrystallized from isopropanol, to yield N-(n-octyl)ethanediamine tosylate (3 g) as white plates, m.p. 80°-85° C.
