Participants

Reaction Steps

Cysteamine hydrochloride (4.5 g) was added to a cooled solution of potassium-t-butoxide (8.98 g) in dry dimethylformamide (125 ml). The mixture was stirred for 20 min and [5-[4-(dimethylamino)butyl]-2-furanyl]methyl ethanoate (9.6 g) was added. The reaction was heated at 90° for 4 hr, poured onto an ice-water mixture and extracted with chloroform. Distillation of the organic extract gave a yellow oil which after column chromatography on silica, using methanol/0.880 ammonia (9:1) as eluent, and a further distillation afforded a colourless oil b.p. 140°/0.05 mm Hg. Found: C, 60.81; H, 9.86; N, 10.44. Calc. for C13H24N2OS: C, 60.91; H, 9.44; N, 10.93%.
