HCID 57857600, compound → 2-Bicyclopropyl-2-yl-phenylamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

1 g of benzyl(2-bicyclopropyl-2-yl-phenyl)amine (3.8 mmol, trans/cis ratio of about 3:1) is dissolved in 15 ml of absolute tetrahydrofuran. Then 50 mg of Pd (5%) on activated carbon are added. Hydrogenation is then carried out, with stirring, for 1 hour at room temperature. After completion of the reaction, the catalyst is filtered off and the solvent is removed using a water jet vacuum. The product is purified by chromatography on silica gel (eluant:ethyl acetate/hexane 1/15). 0.61 g of 2-bicyclopropyl-2-ylphenylamine (92% of theory) is obtained in the form of a brownish liquid (trans/cis ratio of about 3:1).
