3-Cyclopentyl-2-(4-nitro-phenyl)-N-thiazol-2-yl-propionamide → 2-(4-amino-phenyl)-3-cyclopentyl-N-thiazol-2-yl-propionamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 3-cyclopentyl-2-(4-nitro-phenyl)-N-thiazol-2-yl-propionamide (345 mg, 1.0 mmol) in ethyl acetate (100 mL) was treated with 10% palladium on activated carbon (34.5 mg). The reaction mixture was stirred under 60 psi hydrogen gas at 25° C. for 6 h. The catalyst was then removed by filtration through a pad of celite and was washed with ethyl acetate. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo to give 2-(4-amino-phenyl)-3-cyclopentyl-N-thiazol-2-yl-propionamide (288.3 mg, 91.4%) as a yellow solid: mp 102-107° C.; EI-HRMS m/e calcd for C17H21N3OS (M+) 315.1405, found 315.1401.
