Sodium sulfate decahydrate → N-(4-(aminomethyl)-2,6-dichlorophenyl)acetamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

Step B (2): To a solution of 4-acetamido-3,5-dichloro-benzonitrile (114 mg, 0.5 mmol) in 5 mL of THF was added lithium aluminum hydride (120 mg, 3.2 mmol) in one portion and the resulting mixture was stirred for 3 h. Sodium sulfate decahydrate (1 g, 3.2 mmol) was added in one portion and the mixture was stirred for 30 min. The solid was filtered off and the filtrate was concentrated. The residue was purified by HPLC to give 4-acetamido-3,5-dichloro-benzylamine (35 mg, 30%). 1H NMR (500 MHz, CD3OD): δ 7.46 (s, 2 H), 3.78 (s, 2H), 2.18 (s, 3 H).
