Hydrogen Bromide → 1-Bromophenanthren-2-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

First, 100 g of 2-aminophenanthrene were dissolved in 750 mL of N,N-dimethyl sulfoxide, and then 83 g of 48% hydrobromic acid were dropped to the solution over 4 hours while the solution was stirred at room temperature. The mixture was continuously stirred at room temperature for 20 hours, and was then stirred at 100° C. for 1 hour under heat. After having been cooled to room temperature, the reaction solution was poured into 3 L of water. After the mixed solution had been neutralized with ammonia water, the crystal was obtained through separation by filtration. The resultant solid was recrystallized with ethanol and water. Thus, 126 g of a colorless crystal were obtained (in 90% yield).
