Boron tribromide → HCID 59267961, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 5-(2-benzyloxy-1,1-dimethyl-ethyl)-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-ylamine (15.0 g, 57.0 mmol) in DCM (100 mL), boron tribromide (1N in DCM, 15.0 mL, 162.0 mmol) is added slowly at 0° C. The reaction mixture is warmed up to room temperature and stirred for 3 h. After cooling the reaction mixture to 0° C., ice water is added. The two phases are separated and the pH of the water phase is adjusted to ˜13 with NaOH and extracted with n-BuOH. The organic layer is washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure to afford 10.0 g of 2-(5-amino-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)-2-methyl-propan-1-ol as a brown solid; m/z 174 [M+H].
