Reaction Steps

A solution of 36.18 g. (0.135 mole) of 2-bromoethyl-3,4-dichlorophenyl ether and 31.8 g (0.54 mole) of isopropyl amine in 200 ml of chloroform was heated at reflux for 72 hours. Solvent was removed in a rotary evaporator and the residue partitioned between water and chloroform. The chloroform layer was extracted with 1N sulfuric acid. The aqueous phase, which contained a dispersed white solid, was made alkaline with 10% aqueous sodium hydroxide solution and extracted with chloroform. The chloroform layer was concentrated under vacuum to an oil, the free base. A portion of the oil was dissolved in methanol and treated with ethereal hydrogen chloride. The precipitate was recrystallized from methanol-diethyl ether. Overall yield of white crystalline product was 62.4% of theory based on the proportion taken. The melting point was 186°-187° C.
