Hydrochloric Acid → Methyl((oxan-4-yl)methyl)amine hydrochloride

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of N-methyl-N-(tetrahydro-pyran-4-ylmethyl)-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester (740 mg) in 4N hydrochloric acid in 1,4-dioxan (10 ml, ex Aldrich) was stirred at room temperature for 1 h. The dioxan was removed under reduced pressure and the residue triturated with ether. The solid was filtered onto a sinter, washed with ether and dried, to afford N-methyl-N-(tetrahydro-pyran-4-ylmethyl)-amine hydrochloride (460 mg).
