Hydrochloric Acid → 5-(Aminomethyl)-2-propoxyphenol

Participants

Reaction Steps

An amount of 3-hydroxy-4-propoxybenzaldehyde O-methyloxime (150 mg, 0.83 mmol) is dissolved in ethanol (4 mL). Then hydrogen chloride (0.600 mL) is added, followed by 10% Pd/C (15.0 mg). After hydrogenation at 35 psi for 3 h, the solution is filtered through Celite and evaporated to dryness. The residue is recrystallized from ethyl acetate to give 112 mg of crude product as a white solid. MS (ESI) m/z 182.3 (M+1)
