Hydrochloric Acid → 1-Aminomethyl-5,6-bis(trimethylacetoxy)-3,4-dihydro-3-phenyl-naphthalene hydrochloride

Participants

Reaction Steps

N-t-Butyloxycarbonyl-1-aminomethyl-5,6-bis(trimethylacetoxy)-3,4-dihydro-3-phenyl naphthalene (14 g, 26 mmol), from Step 2, was dissolved in 75 mL of dioxane and saturated with anhydrous hydrogen chloride. The reaction mixture was stirred for 2 h and concentrated in vacuo. The solid residue was dissolved in a minimum amount of methanol and the methanol solution was added dropwise to an excess amount (500 mL) of diethyl ether. The precipitate was filtered, washed with diethyl ether and dried to give 9.1 g 90% yield) of 1-aminomethyl-5,6-bis(trimethylacetoxy)-3,4-dihydro-3-phenyl-naphthalene hydrochloride as a white powder, m.p. 210°-212° C. 1H NMR (d6DMSO) delta 1.25 (s, 9H), 1.28 (s, 9H), 2.61 (dd, 1H), 2.89 (dd, 1H), 3.75-3.85 (m, 1H), 3.99 (s, 2H), 6.28 (d, 2H), 7.15 (d, 1H), 7.2-7.35 (m, 5H), 7.37 (d, 1H), 8.37 (br s, 3H).
