Reaction Steps

A solution of the nitroarene (54) (0.61 g, 1.441 mmol) in a mixture of MeOH (20.0 mL), AcOH (5.0 mL) and EtOAc (10.0 mL) was passed through a Thales H-Cube (1.0 mL·min−1, 45° C., 55 mm, 10% Pt/C Cat-Cart, full hydrogen mode). The solvent was evaporated in vacuo and the residue was partitioned between saturated aqueous NaHCO3 solution and EtOAc. The organic layer was washed with water and brine and then dried (MgSO4) and evaporated in vacuo to furnish the title compound (55) (0.61 g, 97%): m/z 394 (M+H)+ (ES+).
