1-Chloro-4-morpholin-4-yl-2-naphthol → 4-Morpholino-2-naphthol

Participants

Reaction Steps

in a 0.3 l steel autoclave, 10.5 g of 1-chloro-4-morpholino-2-naphthol in 150 ml of sodium hydroxide (2N) and 30 ml of ethanol are maintained under a pressure of 3 bar and at 35° C. in the presence of 3 g of palladium on charcoal (5%) for 7 hours. The solution is then filtered to remove the catalyst. The aqueous phase is then acidified with acetic acid and then filtered. The precipitate is washed with water and then dried. 7.1 g of 4-morpholino-2-naphthol are thus obtained.
