Participants

Reaction Steps

Following the procedure given in E above, 75 grams of 2-methyl-2,4-diethyl decahydroquinoline were reacted with ethylene oxide in the presence of 50 milliliters of ethylene glycol at 200° C. for 10 hours to yield 1-(2'-hydroxyethyl)-2-methyl-2,4-diethyl decahydroquinoline, which had a boiling point of 140° C. at 0.8 mm Hg. The NMR and infrared spectra were consistent with the desired product. For formula of C16H31NO, the calculated carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen contents are 75.83% carbon, 12.33% hydrogen, and 5.53% nitrogen and the analyzed contents were 74.69% carbon, 12.24% hydrogen, and 5.14% nitrogen.
