Participants

Reaction Steps

tert-Butyl 2-(3-bromophenyl)-1-(methylamino)propan-2-ylcarbamate (CD3; R1=Me, R4=Me) (0.62 g, 1.8 mmol) was dissolved in 25% TFA in DCM (25 mL) and the mixture was left stirring at RT for 1 h. The mixture was concentrated in vacuo and the residue was redissolved in CHCl3 (20 mL). The solution was washed with 15% NaOH (10 mL) and the aqueous layer was extracted with CHCl3 (3×10 mL). The combined organic layer was dried over MgSO4 and concentrated in vacuo to give 0.33 g (76%) of crude 2-(3-bromophenyl)-N1-methylpropan-1,2-diamine as a colorless oil. 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ 7.65 (t, J=1.7 Hz, 1H), 7.41-7.34 (m, 2H), 7.21 (t, J=7.8 Hz, 1H), 2.86 (dd, J=11.7, 0.6 Hz, 1H), 2.64 (dd, J=11.7, 0.6 Hz, 1H), 2.38 (s, 3H), 1.54 (bs, 3H), 1.43 (s, 9H). MS (ESI) m/e 242.9 (M+H)+. The compound was used in the next step without further purification.
