Ethyl Acetate → HCID 61028432, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To palladium (0.00748 g, 0.0702 mmol) in a 50 mL flask with stirbar was added ethyl acetate (11.7 g, 133 mmol) under nitrogen, and then nitrile 83 (0.675 g, 3.51 mmol) was added (FIG. 18). The flask was fitted with a balloon containing hydrogen, and the nitrogen inlet was removed. The reaction was stirred vigorously for 4 hours, and then was filtered through celite, washing with ethyl acetate. The product 84 required no further purification, 98% yield. 1H NMR (500 MHz, CDCl3) δ 6.85-6.77 (m, 1H), 6.74-6.62 (m, 3H), 4.08 (t, J=6.1 Hz, 2H), 3.94-3.74 (m, 2H), 2.72 (t, J=6.1 Hz, 2H). LRMS m/z Calcd. for C9H10N2O: 162.07931. found: 163.1 [M+1].
