Ammonium Chloride → 5-Amino-2-chloro-N-(tricyclo[3.3.1.13,7]dec-1-ylmethyl)-benzamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 2-chloro-5-nitro-N-(tricyclo[3.3.1.13,7]dec-1-ylmethyl)-benzamide (Example 29a, 0.50 g) and ammonium chloride (0.5 g) were dissolved in 50% aqueous ethanol. Iron powder (0.5 g) was added and the mixture stirred at reflux temperature for 3 h before being cooled and the solids removed by filtration. The mother liquors were treated with 10% sodium hydroxide solution and the product extracted into ethyl acetate. The organic solution was washed with brine, dried over sodium sulphate (Na2SO4) and concentrated to give a residue which was purified by silica gel chromatography to give the sub-title compound as a white solid (0.4 g).
