Participants

Reaction Steps

To a round bottom flask containing (R)—N—((S)-1-(2-fluoro-4-(prop-1-en-2-yl)phenyl)ethyl)-2-methylpropane-2-sulfinamide (1.02 g, 3.60 mmol) was added dioxane (7 mL). To this homogenous solution was then added HCl in Dioxane (1.80 mL, 7.20 mmol, 4 M). Resulting reaction mixture allowed to stir 10 min at room temperature. Volatiles removed. Et2O was added and mixture sonnicated briefly. Volatiles removed again. Et2O was added and the solid collected and washed with Et2O to afford a white HCl salt of (S)-1-(2-fluoro-4-(prop-1-en-2-yl)phenyl)ethanamine (742 mg, 3.44 mmol, 96% yield). 1H NMR (400 MHz, D2O) δ 1.65 (d, J=6.94 Hz, 3H) 2.12 (s, 3H) 5.23 (s, 1H) 5.50 (s, 1H) 7.37 (d, J=13.06 Hz, 1H) 7.43 (m, 2H). LCMS m/z 163.2 (deamino fragment) (M+H)+, Rt 0.56 min.
