Hydrochloric Acid → HCID 178525719, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Carbon disulfide (0.26 mL, 4.4 mmol) was added to a mixture comprising trans-4-(aminomethyl)cyclohexanecarboxylic acid (0.24 g, 1.5 mmol), tetrahydrofuran (1.0 mL), water (1.0 mL) and triethylamine (0.51 mL, 3.6 mmol), followed by stirring at room temperature for 44 hours. The obtained reaction mixture was dropwise added to a tetrahydrofuran (1.0 mL) solution of iodine (0.41 g, 1.6 mmol) over a period of 5 minutes at 0° C., followed by stirring at 0° C. for further two hours. Thereafter, 1M hydrochloric acid (1.5 mL) was added and mixed. Then, ethyl acetate (6 mL) was added, and the organic layer was separated and concentrated under reduced pressure to dryness. To the obtained residue, a solvent mixture of hexane (3 mL) and ethyl acetate (3 mL) was added and thoroughly mixed, and the insoluble matter was filtered off. Then, the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to dryness to obtain trans-4-(isothiocyanatomethyl)cyclohexanecarboxylic acid as a ocher solid (0.30 g, yield: 101%, and 1H-NMR spectrum showed no distinct by-product). LC-MS ES-198(retention time: 20.3 min, condition 3).
