Participants

Reaction Steps

0.60 g (4.34 mmol) 3,4-diamino-5-methylphenol were placed in 2 mL acetic acid. 4.0 mL (0.03 mol) tetramethyl orthocarbonate were added and the mixture was stirred for 4 h at RT. The reaction mixture was purified by chromatography. The fractions containing product were combined and evaporated down i.vac. to leave the aqueous residue. This was neutralised with a 1M aqueous NaOH solution and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic phase was dried and evaporated down i.vac.
