Procedure

30% Hydrogen bromide in acetic acid (7 mL, 34 mmol) was added to (2-methylsulfanyl-3-methoxybenzyl)-dimethylamine (1.44 g, 6.8 mmol) and heated with stirring at 100° C. After 17 h, the reaction was complete by LC/MS analysis and was then allowed to cool to room temperature. Diethyl ether (100 mL) was added with stirring. After 20 min, the orange diethyl ether solution was decanted off. This was repeated until a tan solid precipitated. 3-Dimethylaminomethyl-2-methylsulfanyl-phenol hydrobromide (1.74 g, 90%) was filtered off as a brown solid.
