Ammonia → HCID 70570674, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

tert-Butyl (2-{[(4′-cyanobiphenyl-3-yl)methyl](methyl)amino}-2-oxoethyl)carbamate (1.3 g) was dissolved in MeOH (20 ml), and a 28% aqueous ammonia solution (2 ml) was added thereto. Then, Raney nickel (205 mg) was added thereto under an argon atmosphere, followed by stirring at room temperature overnight under a hydrogen atmosphere at 1 atm. The reaction mixture was filtered and washed with water, and then the filtrate was extracted with CHCl3. The organic layer was concentrated under reduced pressure, and then the obtained residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (0 to 10% MeOH/CHCl3) to obtain tert-butyl {2-[{[4′-(aminomethyl)biphenyl-3-yl]methyl}(methyl)amino]-2-oxoethyl}carbamate (900 mg).
