2-(4-bromophenoxy)ethanamine

Conditions: temp:0.00; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: To a solution of 2-(4-bromophenoxy)ethanamine (500 mg, 2.3 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (20 mL) was added triethylamine (700 mg, 6.9 mmol) and acetic anhydride (470 mg, 4.6 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 16 hours. The reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo to give a yellow residue. The crude product was diluted with ethyl acetate (20 mL), washed with 1N HCl followed by saturated sodium bicarbonate, dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo to give N-[2-(4-bromophenoxy)ethyl]acetamide (400 mg, 67%) as a white solid. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.39 (d, 2H), 6.76 (d, 2H), δ 5.89 (m, 1H), 4.00 (m, 2H), 3.67 (m, 2H), δ 2.01 (s, 3H). The reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo to give a yellow residue washed with 1N HCl dried over sodium sulfate concentrated in vacuo

Procedure: To a solution of [(4-bromophenyl)oxy]acetonitrile (3.07 g; 14.5 mmol; step 1 above) in anhyd THF (10 mL) at 0° C. was added BH3.DMS (18.1 mL of a 2M solution in THF; 36.2 mmol), dropwise over 5 min. The mixture was heated under reflux for 1.5 h, cooled, and 2M HCl (ca. 50 mL) was slowly added. The acidic mixture was extracted with Et2O (×2) and the extracts set aside. NaOH pellets were added to the aqueous residue until ca. pH 14, and the whole was extracted with Et2O (×3). Combined extracts of the basic mixture were washed (brine), dried over Na2SO4, and concentrated in vacuo, affording the first batch of title compound as a pale yellow liquid. The reserved Et2O extracts (from acidic mixture) were concentrated in vacuo, the residue was heated at near reflux in 15 wt % NaOH (aq) for 15 min, cooled, and extracted with CH2Cl2 (×3). Combined organics were washed (brine) and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was slurried in 4M HCl and insoluble material was removed by filtration. The filtrate was extracted with Et2O (×2), pH was adjusted to ca. pH 14 by addition of NaOH pellets and extracted with Et2O (×5). Combined extracts from the basic mixture were washed (brine), dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated in vacuo, affording a second batch of the title compound, which was combined with the first batch. LC/MS (method D) 1.15 min, m/z 216 (M+H, 79Br), 218 (M+H, 81Br). The mixture was heated under reflux for 1.5 h cooled The acidic mixture was extracted with Et2O (×2) NaOH pellets were added to the aqueous residue until ca. pH 14 the whole was extracted with Et2O (×3) Combined extracts of the basic mixture were washed (brine) dried over Na2SO4 concentrated in vacuo
