Tert-Butylamine → 7-(Tert-butylamino-methyl)-6-chloro-chroman-4-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred mixture of tert-butylamine (7.3 g, 99.78 mmol) and Et3N (10.1 g, 99.78 mmol) in anhydrous CH2Cl2 (50 mL) was added a solution of 7-bromomethyl-6-chloro-chroman-4-one (25 g, 90.71 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (150 mL) dropwise. Stirring was continued for 16 h. The mixture was concentrated, taken up in H2O, acidified with 10% HCl until pH 1, and extracted with Et2O (discarded). The acidic aqueous layer was neutralized with 5 N NaOH, and extracted with CH2Cl2 (3×). The combined extracts were dried over MgSO4, concentrated to give a yellow solid.
