Tetrahydrofuran → [4-amino-3-[[(tetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-yl)oxy]methyl]phenyl] phenylmethanone

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 20 parts of intermediate 56, namely [4-nitro-3-[[(tetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-yl)oxy]methyl]phenyl] phenylmethanone, 2 parts of a solution of thiophene in methanol 4% and 395 parts of methanol was hydrogenated overnight at normal pressure and room temperature with 2 parts of palladium-on-charcoal catalyst 10%. Tetrahydrofuran was added to dissolve the precipitated reaction product. The catalyst was filtered off and the filtrate was evaporated. The residue was recrystallized from methanol. The product was filtered off, washed with methanol and 2,2'-oxybispropane and dried in vacuo at 60° C., yielding 14.93 parts (82.0%) of [4-amino-3-[[(tetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-yl)oxy]methy]phenyl] phenylmethanone; mp. 164.0° C. (interm. 57).
