1-(3-Fluoro-5-nitrobenzyl)-4-methylpiperazine → 3-Fluoro-5-((4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)methyl)aniline

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 1-(3-fluoro-5-nitrobenzyl)-4-methylpiperazine (0.15 g, 0.592 mmol) in MeOH (5 mL) was treated with 10% Pd—C (dry) (0.063 g, 0.059 mmol) and hydrogenated (1 atm) for 3 h. The solids were removed via filtration, rinsed with MeOH and the filtrate concentrated to dryness to afford 3-fluoro-5-((4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)methyl)aniline (100% yield assumed). MS (ESI) m/z: 224.1 [M+H]+.
