D-Psicose → (4-Amino-3-methoxyphenyl)(aziridin-1-yl)methanone

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of aziridin-1-yl(3-methoxy-4-nitrophenyl)methanone (1 equiv) in MeOH (0.24 M) was added 10% palladium on carbon (25% by weight). The reaction mixture was stirred at 50° C. under hydrogen atmosphere (50 Psi) overnight then filtered through celite. The filtrate was concentrated and the residue was purified by silica gel chromatography (50% ethyl acetate in petroleum ether) to afford the title compound (33% yield) as a yellow solid. MS (ESI) m/z 193.1 [M+1]+.
