Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-(2-morpholin-4-ylethoxy)-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzonitrile (Description 124, 0.5 g, 1.67 mmol) in ethanol (30 ml) was added aqueous ammonia (33% aq soln, 5 ml) and a slurry of 10% Pd/C catalyst in water. The reaction was hydrogenated at 43 psi. After 45 min the reaction was complete. The catalyst was filtered off, the reaction condensed and the product azeotroped with toluene to give the desired amine (0.49 g, 96%).
