Ethyl Acetate → methyl 2-amino-3-(tetrahydro-2H-pyran-4-yloxy)benzoate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of methyl 2-nitro-3-(tetrahydro-2H-pyran-4-yloxy)benzoate (1.3 g, 4.8 mmol) and Raney Ni (0.5 g) in MeOH (30 mL) was stirred under 1 atm of H2 at room temperature for 24 h. TLC (petroleum ether:ethyl acetate=1:1) showed the reaction was complete. The mixture was filtered, the filtrate was concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by chromatography (petroleum ether:ethyl acetate=20:1) to give the title compound (0.8 g, 72%) as a colorless oil.
