Procedure

A mixture of 2- (4-nitrobenzyl)pyridine (J. Chem. Soc., p549, 1929) (1.50 g) and 5% Pd-C (0.15 g) in ethanol (30 ml) was vigorously stirred under hydrogen atmosphere for 8 hours, and the Pd-C was filtered off. The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure, and the residue was separated and purified with column chromatography (ethyl acetate/hexane=1:→2:1) to give 2—(4-aminobenzyl)-pyridine (1.09 g) as yellow oil.

Workup

  1. filtrationthe Pd-C was filtered off
  2. concentrationThe filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure
  3. customthe residue was separated
  4. custompurified with column chromatography (ethyl acetate/hexane=1:→2:1)
