N-methyl-N-[1-(4-nitrophenyl)pyrrolidin-3-yl]acetamide → N-[1-(4-aminophenyl)pyrrolidin-3-yl]-N-methylacetamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A suspension of N-methyl-N-[1-(4-nitrophenyl)pyrrolidin-3-yl]acetamide (3.5 g) and palladium(II) hydroxide (20% on carbon; 0.9 g) in ethanol (150 ml) and ethyl acetate (300 ml) was vigorously stirred under a hydrogen atmosphere (atmospheric pressure) for 3 hours. The catalyst was then removed by filtration, and the filtrate was concentrated. This resulted in the product with the molecular weight of 233.32 (C13H19N3O); MS (ESI): 234 (M+H+).
