Definition
ChEBI: 4-morpholinyl-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)methanone is a member of morpholines.
Manufacturing Process
46 g 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoyl chloride are dissolved in 300 ml anhydrous
benzene and 25 g triethylamine and thereafter 19 g anhydrous morpholine are
added in small portions with ice-cooling. The solution is boiled for 2 hours
under reflux. The precipitate is filtered off, and the solution is washed with
dilute sulfuric acid, then with sodium hydrogen carbonate solution and finally
with water, and then evaporated. The residual yellow oil soon crystallizes; the
crystalline mass of the desired material is taken up with ether, filtered and
then recrystallized from 90% ethanol, from which it separates in prisms. It is
slightly soluble in water. Yield: 80%. melting point 120°C to 122°C.
