methyl 4-(N-benzylamino)-1-methyl-1-cyclohexanecarboxylate → Methyl 4-amino-1-methylcyclohexane-1-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

0.2 g of 10% palladium-carbon was added to a solution of 3.1 g of methyl 4-(N-benzylamino)-1-methyl-1-cyclohexanecarboxylate (Example 15) in 200 ml of methanol. The solution was reacted at room temperature under normal-pressure hydrogen gas. The reaction was stopped after 20 hours, the catalyst was filtered out, and the solvent was removed in vacuo from the filtrate. As a result, 1.4 g of methyl 4-amino-1-methyl-1-cyclohexanecarboxylate was obtained as a pale yellow oil, which had the following physiochemical properties:
