Results Two methods were developed for synthesizing/3-(nitrophenoxy) ethylamines (1-3) as hydrochlorides. The first, outlined in Scheme I, uses 2-chloroethanol to alkylate a nitrophenol; the hydroxyl group of the produd is activated by conversion to a tosylate, and replaced by phthalimide. Hydrolysis of the phthalimide is best done in acid; use of hydrazine to cleave the ortho and para precursors of 1 and 3 results in some attack on the ...
