Methyl [4-methyl-2-(4-nitrobenzyl)-6-pyrrolidin-1-ylpyrimidin-5-yl]acetate → Methyl[2-(4-aminobenzyl)-4-methyl-6-pyrrolidin-1-ylpyrimidin-5-yl]acetate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of methyl [4-methyl-2-(4-nitrobenzyl)-6-pyrrolidin-1-ylpyrimidin-5-yl]acetate (0.074 g, 0.20 mmol) in anhydrous THF (2 mL) was added Pd/C (10% Pd, 0.050 g) and the resulting black suspension was stirred under an atmosphere of hydrogen. After 1 hour; the reaction mixture was filtered through Celite and the filtrate was concentrated in vacuo to give methyl [2-(4-aminobenzyl)-4-methyl-6-pyrrolidin-1-ylpyrimidin-5-yl]acetate.
