Hydrochloric Acid → (r)-1-(5-Bromo-pyridin-2-yl)-ethylamine dihydrochloride

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (R)-2-methyl-propane-2-sulfinic acid[(R)-1-(5-bromo-pyridin-2-yl)-ethyl]-amide (500 mg, 1.64 mmol) in 5 mL of MeOH was added HCl (4.10 mL, 16.4 mmol, 4M in dioxane). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2.5 h, during which time a white precipitate was formed. 20 mL of Et2O was added. After stirring for an additional 20 min, the reaction mixture was filtered, washing with 10 mL of Et2O. 454 mg (99%) of the title compound was isolated as a white solid after drying under high vacuum.
