Hydrochloric Acid → HCID 22063466, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

By reacting 6.00 g (34 mmol) of 1-(3,5-dimethylphenyl)-2-methylpropanol-2-ol and 2.00 g (41 mmol) of sodium cyanide in a Ritter reaction, 2.40 g of 2-(3,5-dimethylphenyl)-1,1-dimethylethylformamide (35% yield) is obtained. To liberate the amine, the formamide (2.40 g, 11.7 mmol) is treated with hydrochloric acid. The method and working up are analogous to the method for Example 10(c). Oil. Yield: 1.70 g (82%); mass spectroscopy: [M+H]+=178.
