Hydrogen chloride-ethyl acetate → 4-(Adamantan-1-yl)aniline

Participants

Reaction Steps

4 mL of ethyl acetate was added to 678 mg (2.07 mmol) of tert-butyl [4-(adamantan-1-yl)phenyl]carbamate, and then 4 mL of 4N hydrogen chloride/ethyl acetate was added at 0° C. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 10 hours. The solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure, and ethyl acetate was added to the residue. The resultant was washed with an aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate solution and saturated saline in this order, and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure, thereby quantitatively giving 4-(adamantan-1-yl)aniline.
