Methanol → 4-((4-Methylpiperazin-1-yl)methyl)aniline

Participants

Reaction Steps

1-Methyl-4-(4-nitro-benzyl)-piperazine (3.70 g, 15.7 mmol) was dissolved in Methanol (40.0 mL, 987 mmol) and was carefully added to a Parr vessel containing 10% Palladium on Carbon (1.00 g, 74.9 mmol) under nitrogen. The mixture was then placed on a Parr hydrogenation apparatus and was allowed to shake at 55 psi until uptake of hydrogen ceased. The catalyst was then filtered to afford 3.00 g of 4-(4-Methyl-piperazin-1-ylmethyl)-phenylamine without further purification. (M+H)=205.96.
