Hydrochloric Acid → Methyl 4-(2-aminoethoxy)benzoate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-[2-(2,2-dimethyl-propionylamino)-ethoxy]-benzoic acid methyl ester (350 mg) in EtOH (6 mL) at 0° C. was added concentrated HCl (3 mL). The solution was warmed to room temperature and was concentrated in vacuo to provide the hydrochloride salt of 4-(2-amino-ethoxy)-benzoic acid methyl ester (266 mg) as a white solid which was used in the next step without further purification.
