Dimethylamine → HCID 10665509, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

3 ml of 50% by volume aqueous dimethylamine were added to a solution of 0.45 g of 2-[2-(3-phenylpropyl)phenoxymethyl]oxirane [prepared as described in step (a) above] in 10 ml of tetrahydrofuran, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for one day. At the end of this time, the solvent was removed by distillation under reduced pressure, and the resulting residue was purified by column chromatography through silica gel, using a 20:1 by volume mixture of methylene chloride and methanol as the eluent, to give 0.31 g (yield 59%) of the title compound as a colorless oil.
