[2-(2-Ethyl-5-methyl-2H-pyrazol-3-yl)-ethyl]-carbamic acid benzyl ester → 2-(2-Ethyl-5-methyl-2H-pyrazol-3-yl)-ethylamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

[2-(2-Ethyl-5-methyl-2H-pyrazol-3-yl)-ethyl]-carbamic acid benzyl ester (818 mg, 2.85 mmol) was dissolved in methanol (8 ml) and added to a suspension of Pd—C (10%, 163 mg) in methanol (8 ml), put under an atmosphere of hydrogen (1 bar) and stirring at rt was continued for 45 minutes. The reaction mixture was filtered over a pad of celite and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to give 408 mg (93.7%) of 2-(2-Ethyl-5-methyl-2H-pyrazol-3-yl)-ethylamine. LC-MS: tR=0.20 min, broad peak; [M+H]+=no ionization.
