Hydrochloric Acid → (S)-1-(4-(1-aminoethyl)-3-fluorophenyl)ethanone

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a round bottom flask containing (R)—N—((S)-1-(4-(1-ethoxyvinyl)-2-fluorophenyl)ethyl)-2-methylpropane-2-sulfinamide (600 mg, 1.91 mmol) was added MeOH (19 mL). To this homogenous solution was then added HCl (aq) (3.2 mL, 19.1 mmol, 3 M). Resulting reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 min. Volatiles were then removed. Residue triturated with Et2O to provide (S)-1-(4-(1-aminoethyl)-3-fluorophenyl)ethanone (0.43 g, 1.98 mmol, 103% yield) as a HCl salt. 1H NMR (400 MHz, D2O) δ 1.67 (d, J=6.99 Hz, 3H) 2.64 (s, 3H) 4.80-4.87 (m, 1H) 7.61 (t, J=7.73 Hz, 1H) 7.77 (dd, J=11.30, 1.66 Hz, 1H) 7.87 (dd, J=8.09, 1.64 Hz, 1H). LCMS m/z 182.0 (M+H)+, Rt 0.36 min.
