1-Phenylcyclopropanemethanamine → Cyclohexaneethanamine, -bta-,-bta--dimethyl-

Participants

Reaction Steps

{1-(1-Phenylcyclopropyl)}methylamine (205 mg, 1.1 mmole) was hydrogenated using platinum-black (410 mg) in 20 mL of acetic acid under 4 atmospheres of hydrogen for 3 days. The same conditions were repeated 3 times to complete the reaction. 2-Cyclohexyl-2-methylpropylamine was isolated as an acetic acid salt in quantitative yield. This material (28.5 mg, 0.12 mmole) was coupled with Example 4 (100 mg, 0.1 mmole) by the EDC and HOBT method followed by deprotection and purification to afford pure title compound (51 mg, 47%).
