1,1,1-Trifluoro-3-nitro-2-pentanol → HCID 10725607, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

1,1,1-trifluoro-3-nitropentan-2-ol (3 g, 16 mmol) was dissolved in methanol (40 ml). Raney Nickel catalyst was added and the reaction vigorously stirred under an atmosphere of hydrogen for 24 h. The catalyst was filtered and the filtrate was concentrated in vacuo to give the amine relatively pure (2.35 g, 94%). δH (CDCl3, 500 MHz) 1.05 (3 H, t, J 5, CHCH2CH3), 1.55-1.45 (1 H, m, CHCHHCH3), 1.8-1.7 (1 H, m, CHCHHCH3), 2.95-2.9 (1 H, m, CHEt), 3.95-3.85 (1 H, m, CHOHCF3); δC (CDCl3, 500 MHz) 124.5 (C), 71.5 (CH), 54.03 (CH), 25.5 (CH2), 11.05 (CH3)
