P.5 Preparation Example 5:
Preparation Example 5: Synthesis of 2-(3,4-dimethylphenyl)ethylamine To a solution of 6.8g of 90% sodium cyanide dissolved in 6.5ml of distilled water while being subjected to heating was added a solution of 15.5g of 3,4-dimethylbenzyl chloride in 20ml of dry ethanol; and the resultant mixture was heated at the boiling temperature for 10 hours and then cooled to room temperature. This solution was added to 50ml of distilled water and extracted twice with 150ml of ethyl ether. The organic solvent was removed to obtain 11.5g(yield 79%) of 3,4-dimethylbenzyl cyanide, which was dissolved in 50ml of dry tetrahydrofuran. The organic solution was slowly added to a dispersion of 6.0g of LiALH₄ suspended in 150ml of dry tetrahydrofuran; and the mixture was heated at the boiling point for 14 hours. This reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature; and 16ml of 1N NaOH and 8ml of distilled water were slowly added thereto. Thereafter, this reaction mixture was filtered through a Celite layer to obtain solids, which were dissolved in a mixture of 250ml of ethyl ether and 250ml of ethyl alcohol and filtered. After the filtrate was basified with 5N NaOH aqueous solution and extracted with dichloromethane(200mlx2), the solvent was evaporated and distilled under reduced pressure to provide 5.6g(yield 48%) of the title compound.
