Fumaric Acid → 2-Amino-8-hydroxymethyl-8-chloro-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene fumarate

Participants

Reaction Steps

The expected product is obtained by resolving the compound obtained in stage D of Example 9 using (+)-dibenzoyl-D-tartaric acid by successive recrystallizations in ethanol. The enantiomeric purity is checked by chiral chromatography on a DIACEL-AD column, using an isopropanol/n-heptane/diethylamine mixture (40/1000/0.8) as eluent. The salt is then partitioned between 9N sodium hydroxide and dichloromethane. The aqueous phase is extracted with dichloromethane. After drying and evaporating the organic phases, the residue is dissolved in ethanol with one equivalent of fumaric acid and the mixture is brought to reflux. The expected product is then obtained after cooling, in the form of a white solid which is filtered off.
