2-Butyloxirane → 1-(4-Methanesulfonylbenzylamino)hexan-2-ol

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution (50 ml) of 4-methanesulfonylbenzylamine (5.0 g) and 1,2-epoxyhexane (3.25 g) in methanol was stirred at room temperature for 96 hrs. The reaction-mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure, and the obtained residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (ethyl acetate-ethyl acetate:methanol=10:1) to give the title compound (2.9 g).
