1-(2-nitrobenzyl)pyrrolidine → HCID 89314201, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

The N-(2-nitrobenzyl)-pyrrolidine (20 mmol) was dissolved in N-methyl-morpholine (20 ml). Platinum on carbon (5 mol-%, 0.17 mmol, 350 mg, Degussa Type F105 RS/W) was added. The reaction vessel was evacuated and flushed with nitrogen three times, before a hydrogen atmosphere was applied. Thin layer chromatography control showed complete consumption of the starting material after 4 hours. The platinum catalyst was removed by filtration over celite. The crude product was obtained after evaporation of all volatiles under reduced pressure in a purity of >90%, as measured by 1H NMR.
