Reaction Steps

In a 1-liter three-necked flask having a fit equipped with a stirring device and a nitrogen substituting device, 40.9 g of 1,3-bis(4-(4-nitrobenzyl)phenyl)-2-n-hexyl propane, 5 g of a Pd-C catalyst (a 5% product, containing 55.9% of water) and 300 milliliters of tetrahydrofuran were introduced, and contacted with hydrogen gas at a normal pressure with stirring. After hydrogen absorption was stopped, the catalyst was filtered off and the solution was concentrated. Residues were dissolved in chloroform, and then subjected to a separating operation by a column chromatography with silica gel. By removing off the solvent again, 35.3 g of 1,3-bis(4-(4-aminobenzyl)phenyl)-2-n-hexyl propane was obtained as yellow oil.
