Sodium Hydroxide → (S)-1-(4-bromophenyl)propan-1-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (S)—N-(1-(4-bromophenyl)propyl)-2,2,2-trifluoroacetamide (45.24 g, 0.1464 mol) in methanol (317 mL) was added a solution of NaOH (188 mL, 13%) at 0° C. The mixture was stirred for 2 h. The mixture was concentrated and extracted with methylene chloride. The solvent was removed to give (S)-1-(4-bromophenyl)propan-1-amine (29.65 g, 95%). 1H NMR (CDCl3): 084 (t, 3H), 1.63 (m, 2H), 3.79 (m, 1H), 7.19 (m, 2H), 7.45 (m, 2H).
