Hydrochloric Acid → N1-(benzo[d]oxazol-2-yl)ethane-1,2-diamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

tert-Butyl 2-(benzo[d]oxazol-2-ylamino)ethylcarbamate (515.7 mg, 1.86 mmol) was dissolved in warm p-dioxane (6 mL) and was treated with 4N HCl in 1,4-dioxane (6 mL, 24.0 mmol). The resulting mixture was stirred for 3 h as a solid separated from the acidic solution. Then, additional 4N HCl (2 mL, 8.0 mmol) was added and the resulting mixture stirred for 1 h, then stored in the freezer overnight. The resulting solid was collected by filtration, washed with 1,4-dioxane, then dried in vacuum oven overnight at room temperature to yield the corresponding hydrochloride salt of N1-(benzo[d]oxazol-2-yl)ethane-1,2-diamine as a white powder.
