Electric Literature of 17061-62-0,Some common heterocyclic compound, 17061-62-0, name is Bis(4-methoxybenzyl)amine, molecular formula is C16H19NO2, traditional synthetic route has been very mature, but the traditional synthetic route has various shortcomings, such as complicated route, low yield, poor purity, etc, below Introduce a new synthetic route.
To a solution of N,N-bis(4-methoxybenzyl)amine (Intermediate EEl 1; 200 g, 775.19 mmol) in DCM (2.5 L) was added Et3N (336.17 mL, 2325.5 mmol), andthe reaction mixture was cooled to 0 C. Ethanesulfonyl chloride ( 95 mL,1007.75 mmol) was added in drop-wise manner followed by DMAP (19.0 g,155.03 mmol). The resulting reaction mixture was stirred at ambient temperaturefor 30 mm. The reaction was monitored by TLC and upon completion, themixture was diluted with H20 and the layers were separated and the aqueousphase was extracted with DCM (3 x 1.5 L). The combined organic layer waswashed with H20, brine, and dried over Na2504. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure to afford the cmde material which was purified by column chromatography over 5i02 gel (100-200 mesh), eluting with a gradient of 0-12% EtOAc in hexane affording the title compound (145 g, 5 3.4%) as a white fluffy solid.
These compound has a wide range of applications. It is believed that with the continuous development of the source of the synthetic route Bis(4-methoxybenzyl)amine, its application will become more common.
