Abstract

3361 which had been obtained from octane-I, 8-diol by halfbromination with 42% HBr, 2) was converted to 8-methylthio-l-octanol (3) by treating with sodium methanethiolate in MeOH. 3) This thioalcohol was then treated with phthalimide, diethyl azodicarboxylate, and triphenylphosphine in THF, to give N-(8-methylthiooctyl)-phthalimide (4) in an 86% yield. 4) Hydrolysis of 4 to 8-methylthiooctylamine (5) was carried out with NH2NH2. H20 in a 69% ...
