Hydrochloric Acid → 6-[(Dimethylamino)methyl]-5,6,7,8-tetrahydronaphthalen-2-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

6-Acetylamino-2-(N,N-dimethylamino)methyltetralin hydrochloride (0.879 g; obtained in Reference Example 31) was added to 2 N hydrochloric acid. The reaction mixture was heated under reflux for 90 minutes, and then an aqueous solution of 1 N sodium hydroxide was added thereto to thereby make the resulting mixture have pH of 9. Then, this was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with water and a saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution, then dried, and concentrated. The residue was purified by alumina column chromatography (eluent: ethyl acetate/hexane=1/1) to obtain the entitled compound (0.231 g).
