Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 8-(4-bromophenyl)-1,4-dioxa-8-azaspiro[4.5]decane (1.02 g) and half concentrated hydrochloric acid is heated for 12 hours at 50° C., poured on ice and aqueous NaOH solution (4 M) is added until pH ˜7-8. Then the mixture is extracted with ethylacetate and the organic phase is washed with brine and dried (MgSO4). The solvents are evaporated in vacuo to give the title compound. LC (method 2): tR=0.96 min; Mass spectrum (ESI+): m/z=254 [M+H]+.
