5-(Methoxymethoxy)-6-nitroindane → 6-(Methoxymethoxy)indan-5-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

4.20 g of 5-(methoxymethoxy)-6-nitroindane was dissolved in 42.0 mL of methanol, and 500 mg of 10% palladium carbon was added thereto, followed by stirring at room temperature for 6 hours under a hydrogen atmosphere. After the catalyst was removed by filtration, the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure, and the obtained residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane:ethyl acetate=4:1) to obtain 3.30 g of 6-(methoxymethoxy)indan-5-amine.
