Hydrogen Bromide → 2-Amino-7-hydroxytetralin hydrobromide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A suspension of the compound obtained in step (b) (6.6 g) in 48% hydrobromic acid (80 ml) is refluxed for 2 hours. The obtained solution is evaporated to dryness and the residue is twice taken up in absolute ethanol and concentrated to dryness. An oily product is thus obtained which is dissolved in hot isopropanol (20 ml). Ethyl ether (30 ml) is added thereto and a crystalline precipitate of 2-amino-7-hydroxytetralin hydrobromide (6.8 g) is obtained. M.p. 171°-173° C.
