Reaction Steps

Add hexamethylenetetramine (36.14 g, 258 mmol) to a solution of 2-bromo-1-(5-chloro-2-isopropoxyphenyl)ethanone (75.17 g, 258 mmol) in chloroform (400 mL) at room temperature under nitrogen and stir for 2 days. Collect the solids by filtration, wash with diethyl ether, and dry overnight under reduced pressure. Suspend the solids in methanol (350 ml), cool to 0° C., and treat slowly with concentrated HCl (113 ml, 1365 mmol). Warm the mixture to room temperature and stir for 40 hours. Then heat the mixture to 55° C. for an additional 4 hours. Remove the solids by filtration, and remove the filtrate solvent under reduced pressure to provide a solid. Triturate the solid with diethyl ether. Collect the resulting material by filtration to provide 2-amino-1-(5-chloro-2-isopropoxyphenyl)ethanone hydrochloride, which is used in the next step without purification.
