Reaktionsschritte

(Step 3) To a solution of 5-chloro-2-(methylsulfonyl)benzonitrile obtained in Step 2 (3.8 g) in ethanol (25 ml) was added an 8N solution of ammonia in methanol (5 ml) and Raney cobalt (19 g, wet). The resulting mixture was stirred overnight at room temperature under a hydrogen atmosphere. The reaction mixture was filtered through celite, and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. To the residue were added ethanol (10 ml) and a 2 M hydrogen chloride-methanol solution (10 ml). The resulting mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure, and the residual solid was collected by filtration and washed with ethyl acetate to give 1-[5-chloro-2-(methylsulfonyl)phenyl]methanamine hydrochloride (3.6 g) as a white solid.
