Hydrochloric Acid → 6'-Bromospiro[cyclobutane-1,2'-inden]-1'(3'H)-imine

Participants

Reaction Steps

Hydrochloric acid (4M in 1,4-dioxane, 14.89 mL, 59.55 mmol) was added to a solution of N-(5′-bromospiro[cyclobutane-1,2′-indene]-3′(1′H)-ylidene)-2-methylpropane-2-sulfinamide (Example 54 Step 1, 2.11 g, 5.96 mmol) in anhydrous 1,4-dioxane (60 mL), and the resulting mixture was stirred under an argon atmosphere for 3 h. Et2O (4 mL) was added and the precipitate was filtered off and washed with Et2O, then partitioned between DCM (100 mL), and sat. aq. NaHCO3 (100 mL). The phases were separated and the organic layer concentrated to afford the title compound that was used as such without further purification.
