The mixture was heated to reflux for 0.25 h upon which the solution became red in color. The solution was cooled to rt and poured onto aqueous 2.0 M NaOH. The aqueous phase was extracted with ethyl acetate and the combined organic layers were washed with saturated NaHCO3. The organic layers were dried over sodium sulfate, eluted through a plug of silica gel (1% ammonium hydroxide in methylene chloride), and the filtrate was concentrated. The residue was redissolved in Et2O and extracted (3×) with 1.0 M HCl. The pH of the combined aqueous layers was adjusted to pH=12 with 2.0M NaOH and extracted with methylene chloride. The combined organic layers were dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated to provide 2-methoxy-5-(1-methyl-cyclopropyl)-benzene-1,3-diamine (860 mg, 52%) as a red oil. ESI MS (m/z 193, M+H).
