1-[3-(4-Nitrophenoxy)propyl]piperidine → 4-[3-(1-Piperidinyl)propoxy]aniline

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1-[3-(4-nitrophenoxy)propyl]piperidine (15.5 g, 58.6 mmol) and 10% Pd/C (12.5 g) in 150 mL of EtOH was placed under a balloon of H2. The mixture was stirred for 18 h. The catalyst was removed by suction filtration and the organics concentrated to give the title compound as a yellowish oil. MS (m/z)=235.2 (M+H+); Calc'd for C14H22N2O=234.34.
