Overview | 3-bromobenzamidine hydrochloride is a pharmaceutical intermediate, which can be prepared from 3-bromo-benzonitrile in one step. |
Preparation | 1.18g(22mmol,2 equivalents) of ammonium chloride was suspended in 40ml of dry toluene under an argon atmosphere, and the mixture was cooled to 0°C. 11ml(22mmol,2 equivalents) of 2M trimethylaluminum hexane solution was added dropwise, and the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature until no more gas production was observed. 2.0g(11mmol,1 equivalent) of 3-bromo-benzonitrile was added and the mixture was stirred overnight at a bath temperature of 80°C. Then it was cooled to 0°C and 50ml of methanol was added, followed by stirring at room temperature for 1 hour. After filtration, the solids are washed several times with methanol, the solution evaporates in vacuum to dryness and the residue is washed with methanol. |
