Water → 2-((Triphenylmethyl)amino)ethanol

Participants

Reaction Steps

Triphenylchloromethane (1.00 g, 3.58 mmol) (Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd.) and aminoethanol (2.00 g, 32.7 mmol) were dissolved in acetonitrile (5 mL), and the solution was stirred at room temperature overnight. Water (100 mL) was poured into the reaction solution, and the precipitates were suction-filtered and then dried. The solid product was recrystallized from a mixed solvent of ethanol (Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd.) and water, to thereby obtain the title compound (0.43 g, 39% yield).
