2-(Chloromethyl)-4-methylaniline hydrochloride → HCID 178466045, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

The title compound was prepared by the method of Example 1 using 3.00 g of 2-mercapto-5-ethoxybenzimidazole instead of 2-mercaptobenzimidazole and 3.71 g of 2-(chloromethyl)-4-methylaniline hydrochloride instead of 2-(chloromethyl)-N,N-dimethylaniline in isopropyl alcohol. The basic extraction used 10% sodium hydroxide instead of sodium carbonate. Crystallization during concentration of the dichloromethane extract gave 2.13 g of the title compound, which was used in subsequent reactions without further purification.
