Procedure

Under an argon atmosphere, to a mixture of 5.0 g of methyl 4-[3-(4-nitrophenyl)-3-oxoprop-1-en-1-yl]benzoate and 150 mL of methanol was added dropwise 5.0 mL of concentrated sulfuric acid under ice-cooling. Under an argon atmosphere, to the reaction mixture was added 500 mg of palladium on carbon under ice-cooling, followed by replacing with hydrogen (3 atm) at room temperature and then stirring at room temperature for 24 hours. The insoluble materials were filtered off on a celite layer and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was neutralized by the addition of a saturated aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate solution under ice-cooling, followed by extraction with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with water and saturated brine, and then dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure and the obtained residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (chloroform) to obtain 2.9 g of methyl 4-[3-(4-aminophenyl)propyl]benzoate as a pink oil.
