Triethylsilane → 2-(3-Aminophenoxy)-N-cyclopropylacetamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

Triethylsilane (27.0 ml, 169 mmol) was added dropwise to a suspension of N-cyclopropyl-2-(3-nitrophenoxy)acetamide (4 g, 16.93 mmol) and Pd/C (10%, 400 mg) in MeOH (50 ml). Resulting suspension was stirred at RT for 20 min. and filtered through celite. The filtrate was evaporated under vacuum and triturated in hexane to obtain the crystals which were collected by filtration to afford 2-(3-aminophenoxy)-N-cyclopropylacetamide (2.86 gm).
