Hydrochloric Acid → Methyl[1-(3-aminopropyl)cyclopropyl]acetate hydrochloride

Participants

Reaction Steps

At room temperature, a mixture of 389 mg (1.97 mmol) of methyl[1-(3-azidopropyl)cyclopropyl]acetate, 40 mg of 10% palladium on carbon and 1.97 ml (1.97 mmol) of 1 M hydrochloric acid in 10 ml of ethanol were hydrogenated under atmospheric pressure overnight. After the reaction had ended, the mixture was filtered and the filtrate was concentrated to dryness. This gave 313 mg (1.51 mmol, 76% of theory) of the title compound as a colorless oil.
