Ethanol → 3-Fluoro-4-morpholin-4-ylmethylphenylamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-(2-fluoro-4-nitrobenzyl)morpholine (245 mg; 1.02 mmol) in THF:ethanol mixture (1:1) (40 mL) was added a catalytical amount of Raney-Nickel and hydrazine hydrate (6.0 mmol) and the mixture was stirred for 20 minutes at ambient temperature, then filtered through a Celite/silica gel pad. The filtrate was evaporated to provide the title compound (210 mg, 99%), which was used in further reactions without purification.
