HCID 68313HordenineYield 92%

Procedure

To 250 mg of 4-hydroxyphenethyl bromide in a round-bottomed flask, a 10 M excess of methylamine (6.22 mL of 2M in MeOH) was added and the solution was stirred at r.t. overnight. After filtration, the solvent was evaporated and gave the product in crystalline form in 92% yield, 0.23 g, light yellow. m.p.: 73-76° C. TLC (EtAc:MeOH, 9:1 v/v): RF=0.1. 1H NMR, δ: 9.43 (s, 1H), 7.12 (d, 2H), 6.70 (d, 2H), 2.74 (m, 4H), 2.30 (s, 6H). 13C NMR, δ: 167.5, 134.3, 130.2, 115.6, 60.6, 45.9, 32.4. Anal. calcd for C10H15NO: C, 72.69; H, 9.15; N, 8.48%. Found; C, 72.60; H, 9.30; N, 8.40%.
