1-chloro-2-(1-chloropropan-2-yloxy)propane

Conditions: temp:0.00; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: 41.4 g (0.3 mole) of potassium carbonate is added to a solution of 23.3 g (0.1 mole) of 4-(2-cyclohexylprop-2-yl)-cyclohexylamine and 17.1 g (0.1 mole) of di-(1-chloro-2-propyl)-ether in 200 ml of cyclohexanol, and the mixture is refluxed for 8 hours while stirring. After cooling, approx. 100 ml of water is added, and the organic phase is separated and dried over a small amount of Na2SO4. The residue remaining after the cyclohexanol has been distilled off is fractionally distilled under reduced pressure. At 160°-164° C./0.2 mm there is obtained 16 g (50% of theory) of the captioned compound as a colorless oil (isomer mixture; compound no. 1). the mixture is refluxed for 8 hours After cooling the organic phase is separated dried over a small amount of Na2SO4 has been distilled off is fractionally distilled under reduced pressure
