1-(4-Nitrophenyl)-4-piperidinol → 1-(4-Aminophenyl)piperidin-4-ol

Participants

Reaction Steps

The 4-hydroxy-N-(4-nitrophenyl)piperidine (11.1 g, 50 mmol) obtained in Example 1(1) was dissolved in methanol (100 ml) and tetrahydrofuran (50 ml), and 10% palladium-carbon (8.0 g) was added thereto, followed by stirring at room temperature in an atmosphere of hydrogen gas for 7 hours. After the insoluble material was filtered with Celite, the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure, diethyl ether was added to the obtained residue, and the precipitate was collected by filtration, thereby obtaining 4-hydroxy-N-(4-aminophenyl)piperidine (9.25 g, 94%) as a reddish-purple solid.
