Reaction Steps

To a solution of (±)-7-(2,6-dichlorophenyl)-2,3-dihydro-1-benzofuran-2-yl 4-methylbenzenesulfonate (0.2 g, 0.46 mmol) in dimethylsulfoxide (5 mL) was added ethylamine (0.20 g, 4.4 mmol) and the reaction mixture was allowed to stir at 60° C. for 12 h. The reaction was diluted with water (10 mL) and ethyl acetate (2×10 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with water (3×20 mL) and saturated aqueous sodium chloride (20 mL), dried (magnesium sulfate) and the solvent was removed in vacuo to give an oil. The oil was re-dissolved in isopropanol (0.5 mL) and hydrogen chloride (0.5 mL, 1.0 M in diethyl ether) was added. The resulting precipitate was filtered, washed (diethyl ether), to give 0.084 g (57%) of (±)-N-{[7-(2,6-dichlorophenyl)-2,3-dihydro-1-benzofuran-2-yl]methyl}ethanamine as a white solid, hydrochloride salt. mp 195-197° C.
