methyl N-[2-(3-bromopropyliminomethyl)phenyl]carbamate

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

Procedure: Methyl 2-formylphenylcarbamate (7, 2.5 g, 14 mmol) and magnesium sulfate (5 g) were added to a solution of 3-bromopropylamine hydrochloride (3.68 g, 16.8 mmol) and triethylamine in chloroform (30 mL) and mixture was stirred for 24 h. The mixture was filtered and the residue was washed with chloroform (2×30 mL). The combined filtrates were washed with water (2×30 mL), brine (30 mL), dried with sodium sulfate, and concentrated to afford 21 as a yellow oil (3.95 g, 94.5%).
