Participants

Reaction Steps

85 g (380 mMol) 4-dimethylamino butyric acid benzylester 19 was stirred with 1 g Pd/C (5%) in 500 ml methanol. The reaction mixture was treated with hydrogen for 4 h. After removing the catalyst, methanol was distilled. A small volume of ethylacetate was added to the remaining residue so that the product would crystallise. The product was then filtered off and washed with ethylacetate.
