3-Azidocyclopentyl benzoate → 3-Aminocyclopentyl benzoate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3-azidocyclopentyl benzoate (411 mg) and 10% palladium on activated carbon (41.1 mg) in methanol (15 mL) was stirred under hydrogen atmosphere (4 atm) for 2 hours at ambient temperature. After removal of the catalyst, the filtrate was evaporated in vacuo to give 3-aminocyclopentyl benzoate as a pale yellow oil (354 mg).
