Procedure

2-(2′-Hydroxyethyl)-3-methoxy-N-tert-butoxycarbonyl-aniline (158 g, 0.59 mol) was added portionwise to a stirred solution of hydrogen bromide in acetic acid (30%, 1.7 L) at room temperature. The reaction was then heated to reflux for 4 h. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature, basified to pH 14 with aqueous sodium hydroxide solution (6 N) and extracted with dichloromethane (3×2 L). The organic extracts were combined, dried (magnesium sulphate) and evaporated to give the title compound as an orange oil (78 g, 92%); NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δH 2.99 (2H, t, J 8.5 Hz), 3.55 (2H, br s), 4.57 (2H, t, J 8.5 Hz), 6.19 (1H, d, J 7.5 Hz), 6.25 (2H, d, J 7.5 Hz), 6.92 (1H, t, J 8.0 Hz); IR νmax (Nujol)/cm−1 2853, 2610, 1544, 1462, 1262, 1234, 986 and 761.
