Boron tribromide → HCID 18735034, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Aminotetralin sulfonamide 8 from the previous reaction (0.160 g, 0.246 mmol) was placed in a 50 mL round-bottom flask along with a stir bar. Methylene chloride (25 mL) was added and the slurry was cooled on an ice bath for several minutes. Boron tribromide in methylene chloride (1M, 1.25 mL, 1.25 mmol) was added to the reaction. The flask was flushed with argon, capped and allowed to warm up to ambient temperature and the mixture was stirred over 16 hours at which time the reaction was quenched by the addition of methanol (1 mL). The solvents were removed in vacuo and an additional aliquot of methanol was added to the resultant residue. Evaporation of the solvent from this mixture afforded crude product which was purified via reverse-phase chromatography (Bondapak C18, 3×(40×100 mm), gradient of H2O/CH3CN (+0.1% TFA)). The appropriate fractions were collected and lyophilized. The resultant material was subsequently treated with ethanolic-hydrogen chloride, followed by evaporation and drying under vacuum to give the phenolic product 9 as a white tris-hydrochloride salt (0.145 g, 0.228 mmol).
