Cyanogen Bromide → HCID 25016537, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of (R)-2-amino-3-(ethyl-phenyl-amino)-propan-1-ol (235 mg) at r.t. in THF (10 ml) under an argon atmosphere were added potassium carbonate (334 mg) and a solution of cyanogen bromide (256 mg) in THF (5 ml). Stirring at r.t. was continued for 18 h. The mixture (off-white suspension) was diluted with EtOAc and washed with H2O. The aqueous phase was back extracted with EtOAc. The combined organics were washed with brine, dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated. The crude product was purified by column chromatography (Isolute® SPE flash NH2 column, aminopropyl-functionalized silica; gradient:CH2Cl2->CH2Cl2/MeOH 9:1) to provide (R)-4-[(ethyl-phenyl-amino)-methyl]-4,5-dihydro-oxazol-2-ylamine (142 mg, 54%) as off-white solid. MS (ISP): 220.1 ([M+H]+)
