Isopropylamine → HCID 13885088, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 20 grams (0.16 mole) of ethyl difluoroacetate in 20 milliliters ethyl alcohol was added slowly in a solution of 9.5 grams (0.16 mole) isopropylamine amine and 5 drops of ethylene glycol in 30 milliliters ethyl alcohol. The temperature rose slowly to 27° C. The mixture was then refluxed for 3 days. After this reflux period, the solution was evaporated at 100 millimeters and the residue was distilled at atmospheric pressure to yield 18.0 grams, b.p. 86°-88°, identified by infrared spectroscopy as the title compound.
