N-(4-Cyano-2-fluorophenyl)methanesulfonamide → N-(4-(aminomethyl)-2-fluorophenyl)methanesulfonamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

The catalyst (0.151 g Raney nickel), N-(4-cyano-2-fluoro-phenyl)-methane sulphonamide (1.15 g) and methanol (25 ml) were placed in a hydrogenator. The mixture was stirred over night under hydrogen at a pressure of 2 bar. 0.26 ml hydrogen was taken up. The reaction mixture was drawn off through the filtering material and the filter cake was washed with methanol. The solvent was removed under vacuum and the residue was dried. The desired product was obtained in the form of a solid (476 mg).
