2-Amino-6-methylphenol Use and Manufacturing

Methods of Manufacturing

B. A mixture of 2-methyl-6-nitrophenol (542 mg, 3.54 mmol), 10percent Pd/C (54 mg) in EtOAc/EtOH (5.5 mL/11 mL) was stirred under hydrogen at atmospheric pressure overnight. The mixture was filtered through Celite and the filtrate was concentrated to give 2-amino-6-methylphenol as a brown solid (373 mg, 85percent).An aqueous solution (50 mL) containing Na2S2O4 (40.93 g, 235 mmol) was slowly added to a solution of methanol (50 mL) containing compound 78 (6.0 g, 39 mmol)The reaction mixture was refluxed and stirred for 2 hours.After cooling at room temperature, the resulting solid was filtered off and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure, EtOAc and water were added, the EtOAc layer was dried over Na2SO4, filtered under reduced pressure, and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to obtain Compound 79.To a 0 °C solution of glycerol (46 g, 0.5 mol), reagent 1 (12.3 g, 0.10mol) and nitrobenzene (12.3 g, 0.10 mol) was concentrated sulfuric acid (39.2 g, 0.4 mmol). The mixture was then stirred at 160 °C for 3 hours. The resulting solution was cooled to the room temperature and diluted with water (100 mL). It was then neutralized with saturated aqueous NaHCO3 solution to adjust pH = 7, and the resulting mixture was extracted with EtOAc (300mL x 3). The organic layers were combined, washed with brine (100 mL) and dried over Na2SO4. The Na2SO4 was removed by filtration, and the volatiles were removed under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was purified by flash chromatography using a mixture of hexane and ethyl acetate to obtain the pure product 2 (6.5 g, 41percent) as a yellow solid. LCMS(M+Hj m/z: cacld. 160.18, found 160.10; 'H-NMR (CDC13): 8.74(dd, 1H), 8.9 (dd, 1H), 7.33 - 7.38 (m, 2H), 7.26 (d, 1H), 2.48(s, 3H).
