Reaction Steps

(Step 3) To a solution of 5-bromo-2-(methylsulfanyl)benzaldehyde O-methyloxime obtained in Step 2 (11.8 g) in tetrahydrofuran (200 ml) was added tetrahydrofuran-borane (113.4 ml, 1M tetrahydrofuran solution) at 0° C. The mixture was stirred at 80° C. for 3 hr, and treated with ice, and 1N hydrochloric acid (200 ml) was added. The mixture was stirred at 90° C. for 1 hr, and ethyl acetate was added to the mixture. The separated aqueous layer was basified with 8N sodium hydroxide solution, and extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was washed with saturated brine, and dried over magnesium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The obtained residue was dissolved in methanol, 4N hydrogen chloride-ethyl acetate solution (15 ml) was added, and the obtained precipitate was collected by filtration, and washed with ethyl acetate to give 1-[5-bromo-2-(methylsulfanyl)phenyl]methanamine hydrochloride (7.25 g).
