Sulfuric Acid → HCID 5327028, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

In 50 ml of HOAc was dissolved 3.00 g of 9-amino-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroacridin-1-ol. To this mechanically stirred solution at room temperature was added 0.75 ml (1 eq) of H2SO4. The reaction mixture was warmed on a steam bath causing a precipitate to form. After 0.5 hour of heating, the reaction was complete based on thin layer chromatography. The reaction mixture was poured into excess ice/10% NaOH and the precipitate was collected. The precipitate was dissolved in dichloromethane, dried over MgSO4, filtered, and evaporated to a solid which was purified by silica gel chromatography to yield a solid. Two recrystallizations from dichloromethane/hexanes yielded 1.40 g (52%) of a powder, melting point 178°-179° C.
