Hydrochloric Acid → HCID 54009818, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 6-hydroxy-2,5,7,8-tetramethylchroman-2-carboxamide (1.0 g, 4.0 mmol) in THF (30 mL) was added borane-methyl sulfide complex (10M, 1.9 mL, 19 mmol). The resultant mixture was refluxed for 7 h. To the resultant reaction mixture was added 1N hydrochloric acid (9.6 mL) under ice-cooling, and the resultant mixture was further refluxed for 2 h followed by concentration under reduced pressure. The residue was extracted with ethyl acetate after addition of 1N aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide. The organic layer was washed with 10% aqueous solution of sodium chloride, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, concentrated under reduced pressure, and purified by silica-gel column chromatography to give an amine, 2-aminomethyl-6-hydroxy-2,5,7,8-tetramethylchroman (yield 55%).
