Methanol → 3-Methyl-indan-1-ylamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of-methylindan-1-one oxime (223 mg, 1.38 mmol) and 10% palladium on carbon (14.7 mg, 50% water wet) in MeOH (5.00 mL) was stirred under an atmosphere of hydrogen overnight. The mixture was then filtered through celite, washed through with MeOH and the combined filtrates were concentrated in vacuo to afford the title compound (195 mg, 96%). 1H NMR (CDCl3, 300 MHz) δ: 7.39-7.14 (m, 4H), 4.26 (dd, J=7.2, 9.4 Hz, 1H), 3.13-2.96 (m, 1H), 2.71 (ddd, J=6.9, 6.9, 12.5 Hz, 1H), 1.75 (bs, 2H), 1.35 (d, J=6.8 Hz, 3H), 1.25 (ddd, J=9.9, 9.9, 11.7 Hz, 1H) ppm.
