The reaction between alkyl halides and sodium hydride in the presence of N,N-dimethylformamide afforded the corresponding symmetrical and unsymmetrical ethers in high yields. A reaction mechanism for etherification is also proposed.

In the present study, a series of N-substituted derivatives of 2-phenylethylamine has been synthesized. The reaction of 2-phenylethylamine (1) with benzene sulfonyl chloride (2) yielded N-(2-phenylethyl) benzenesulfonamide (3), which further on treatment with alkyl/acyl halides (4a-i) in the presence of sodium hydride furnished into N-substituted sulfonamides (5a-i). These derivatives were cha...
