Reaction Steps

Methyl 4-methyl-4-nitropentanoate (0.8 g, 4.57 mmol) (Moffett (1963) Org. Syn. Coll. 4:652) and Pd/C (1 g, 10% by weight) were suspended in AcOH (15 mL). The resulting mixture was stirred under a hydrogen atmosphere at room temperature for 16 hours. The reaction mixture was then filtered through a pad of celite. The filtrate was concentrated and the crude was used in the subsequent step without further purification. MS: (+) m/z 146.12.91 (M+1).
