Participants

Reaction Steps

Methyl 3-(4-nitrophenyl)propanoate (450 mg, 2.151 mmol) was dissolved in MeOH (10 ml) and then Pd/C 5% (458 mg, 0.215 mmol) was added. The solution was shaken under hydrogen atmosphere at 35 psi for 30 minutes on a Parr apparatus. The catalyst was filtered off and the solvent removed under vacuum to give methyl 3-(4-aminophenyl)propanoate (350 mg, 1.953 mmol, 91% yield).
