Acetic Acid → HCID 12899761, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1.5 g of 1-[3-(N,N-dimethylamino)propoxy]-1-(p-benzyloxyphenyl)-4-phenylbutane obtained in Example 6, 0.5 g of 10% palladium on charcoal (50% wet reagent), 1 g of acetic acid and 50 ml of ethanol was vigorously stirred in hydrogen atmosphere at room temperature until the theoretical amount of hydrogen was consumed. The reaction mixture was poured into water, made alkaline with aqueous ammonium hydroxide and extracted. After the catalyst was filtered off, the organic layer was washed with water, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure to give 1-[3-(N,N-dimethylamino)propoxy]-1-(p-hydroxyphenyl)-4-phenylbutane. M.P., 91.5°-94.5° C. (oxalate).
