Procedure

A flask containing N-methylbenzylamine (3.87 ml, 3.63 g, 0.03 moles), potassium carbonate (8.29 g, 0.06 moles) and 4-methyl-2-pentanone (100 ml) was treated with isopropyl bromide (2.69 ml, 0.03 moles) then heated under reflux for 18 hours. The reaction was checked by thin layer chromatography (tlc) to ensure the starting materials had been consumed. The reaction mixture was gravity filtered hot to remove the potassium salts and the filtrate was concentrated to an oil under reduced pressure on the rotovap. The oil was purified by flash chromatography (davisil 633, 20% ethyl acetate/hexane). The appropriate fractions were pooled and concentrated to an oil which was dissolved in anhydrous diethyl ether. The ether solution was treated with gaseous HCl. The ether was removed under reduced pressure. The residue was dissolved in absolute ethanol, treated with activated carbon, filtered, and cooled. The liquid was concentrated with acetone to remove traces of water. The solid was collected by vacuum filtration. m.p. 127.5°-128.5° C.
