Tert-butyl 4-(4-nitrophenoxy)piperidine-1-carboxylate → tert-Butyl 4-(4-aminophenoxy)piperidine-1-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-(1-t-butoxycarbonylpiperidin-4-yloxy)nitrobenzene (11.9 g) in methanol (100 ml) was added palladium on carbon (1.9 g) and the mixture was stirred under a hydrogen atmosphere at room temperature for 4 hours. The reaction mixture was filtered and the filtrate was concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by chromatography on a silica gel column using hexane/ethyl acetate=1/1 as an eluant to give the desired compound (10.7 g, yield 99%) as a pale red solid.
