1-(3-Methoxy-4-nitro-benzyl)-piperidin-4-ol → 1-[(4-Amino-3-methoxyphenyl)methyl]piperidin-4-ol

Participants

Reaction Steps

Into a par bottle, 1-(3-Methoxy-4-nitro-benzyl)-piperidin-4-ol (0.74 g, 2.8 mmol), Ethanol (20 mL) and 10% Pd/C (10:90, Palladium:carbon black, 0.30 g, 0.28 mmol) were added. The reaction mixture was evacuated and charged with hydrogen at 35 psi. The mixture was shaken for 3 hours. The solid was filtered through Celite and washed with methanol. The solvent was removed under vacuum to give 1-(4-Amino-3-methoxy-benzyl)-piperidin-4-ol as a semi-solid.
