Hydrochloric Acid → 4-(1-Cyclopentylpiperidin-4-yl)aniline hydrochloride

Participants

Reaction Steps

1-Cyclopentyl-4-(4-nitrophenyl)piperidine (303) (6.5 g, 24 mmol) was dissolved in IPA (70 mL) and 2M HCl (aq) (18 mL), and 10% Pd/C (2 g) was added. The resulting mixture was agitated on Parr shaker under 50 psi hydrogen for 18 hours. The reaction mixture was filtered through celite, and the solvent was removed under reduced pressure to give 4-(1-cyclopentylpiperidin-4-yl)aniline hydrochloride (304) (4.0 g, 14 mmol, 60% yield).
