3-(3,4-Dimethylphenoxy)propylazide → 3-(3,4-Dimethylphenoxy)propan-1-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

6.20 g (30.2 mmol) of 3-(3,4-dimethylphenoxy)propylazide obtained in step 2 was dissolved in 150 ml of ethyl acetate and then 4.99 g of 5% Pd/C was added thereto to carry out a hydrogenation reaction at a hydrogen pressure of 40 psi for 30 minutes. The reaction mixture was passed through a Celite™ layer to remove Pd/C, concentrated under a reduced pressure to produce a residue, which was distilled under a reduced pressure to obtain 2.59 g (yield 48%) of the title compound as a colorless oil.
