2-Benzyloxy-5-[2-(p-toluenesulfonyloxy)ethyl]benzamide → Benzamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

2-Benzyloxy-5-[2-(p-toluenesulfonyloxy)ethyl]benzamide (627 mg) was dissolved in methanol (5 ml) and tetrahydrofuran (5 ml), and 10% palladium carbon (wet, 50% water) (169 mg) was added to the solution. The mixture was stirred for 1 hour at room temperature under a hydrogen atmosphere, and the catalyst was filtered off. Removal of the solvent under reduced pressure gave 2-hydroxy-5-[2-toluenesulfonyloxy)ethyl]benzamide (465 mg).
