Hydrochloric Acid → Methyl 5-(aminomethyl)-2-chlorobenzoate--hydrogen chloride (1/1)

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of methyl 5-(((tert-butoxycarbonyl)amino)methyl)-2-chlorobenzoate (100 mg, 0.334 mmol) in EtOAc saturated with HCl (1 mL) was stirred at rt for 2 h. The reaction mixture was concentrated and was triturated with pentane to afford 80 mg of the title product. 1H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO d6): δ 8.20 (br s, 3H), 7.95 (s, 1H), 7.67 (s, 2H), 4.00 (s, 2H), 3.88 (s, 3H).
