Tetrahydrofuran → Ethyl 3-{[(4-aminophenyl)carbonyl](methyl)amino}propanoate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of ethyl 3-[methyl(4-nitrobenzoyl)amino]propanoate (26.6 g) synthesized above, 5% palladium-carbon (8.9 g), tetrahydrofuran (150 mL) and ethanol (150 mL) was stirred at room temperature overnight under a hydrogen atmosphere. 5% palladium-carbon was filtered off, and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (ethyl acetate:hexane=1:2, volume ratio) to give the title compound (26.6 g, 90%) as an oil.
