The condensation product of benzaldehyde with 3-aminopropanol is identified as the Schiff base rather than 2-phenyltetrahydro-l,3-oxazine as previously reported. Its behavior with acid chlorides is described, and its use as an intermediate in the preparation of 3-N-benzylaminopropyl tosylate is considered. This substance was desired as an intermediate in the synthesis of N-benzylazetidine, for which two other potential routes involving 3-aminopropanol derivatives are described.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
