Participants

Reaction Steps

10% palladium-carbon (water content: 50%, 50 mg) was added to a solution of 1-(1-azidoethyl)-2-methylbenzene (744 mg) in methanol (5 mL), and the reaction solution was stirred in a hydrogen atmosphere at room temperature for 1 hour. The reaction solution was filtered on a celite, and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to obtain 482 mg of the title compound. The physical properties of the compound are as follows.
