101-98-4, Researchers who often do experiments know that organic synthesis is a process of preparing more complex target molecules from simple raw materials through one or more chemical reactions. Generally, it requires fewer steps,and cheap raw materials. 101-98-4, name is 2-(Benzyl(methyl)amino)ethanol. A new synthetic method of this compound is introduced below.
Preparation 5A; Alternately, the title compound was prepared by mesylation of N-benzyl-N-methyl ethanolamine, which was then reacted with biphenyl-2-ylcarbamic acid piperidin-4-yl ester in an alkylation reaction. A 500 mL flask (reactor flask) was charged with N-benzyl-N-methylethanolamine (24.5 mL), DCM (120 mL), NaOH (80 mL; 30 wt %) and tetrabutylammonium chloride. Mixing at low speed throughout the reaction, the mixture was cooled to -10 C. (cooling bath), and the addition funnel charged with DCM (30 mL) and mesyl chloride (15.85 mL), which was added drop wise at a constant rate over 30 minutes. The addition was exothermic, and stirring was continued for 15 minutes while the temperature equilibrated back to -10 C. The reaction was held for at least 10 minutes to ensure full hydrolysis of the excess mesyl chloride. A 250 mL flask was charged with biphenyl-2-ylcarbamic acid piperidin-4-yl ester (26 g; prepared as described in Preparation 3) and DCM (125 mL), stirred for 15 minutes at room temperature, and the mixture chilled briefly to 10 C. to form a slurry. The slurry was then charged into the reactor flask via the addition funnel. The cooling bath was removed and the reaction mixture was warmed to 5 C. The mixture was transferred to a separatory funnel, the layers allowed to settle, and the aqueous layer removed. The organic layer was transferred back to the reactor flask, stirring resumed, the mixture held to room temperature, and the reaction monitored by HPLC for a total of 3.5 hours. The reactor flask was charged with NaOH (1M solution; 100 mL), stirred, and the layers allowed to settle. The organic layer was separated, washed (NaCl satd. solution), its volume partially reduced under vacuum, and subjected to repeated IPA washings. The solids were collected and allowed to air-dry (25.85 g, 98% purity). Additional solids were obtained from further processing of the mother liquor (volume reduction, IPA, cooling).
In the field of chemistry, the synthetic routes of compounds are constantly being developed and updated. I will also mention this compound in other articles. 101-98-4, 2-(Benzyl(methyl)amino)ethanol, other downstream synthetic routes, hurry up and to see.
