2-Ethylhexylamine → HCID 23335626, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

In a flask, 2.6 g (0.02 mol) of 2-ethylhexylamine and 1.0 g (0.01 mol) of methyl crotonate were admitted and refluxed for 6 hours. The reaction mixture was dissolved in n-hexane, washed first with diluted hydrochloric acid and then with 10% sodium hydroxide solution, and subsequently dried with sodium sulfate. The residue was recrystallized from n-hexane, obtaining 1.42 g of N-(2-ethylhexyl)-crotonamide (yield: 72.1%). Usual analysis was carried out to identify the compound. The results are shown below.
