1-Benzyloxy-4-[3-(1-methylethyl)aminopropoxy]benzene → 4-[3-(1-Methylethyl)aminopropoxy]phenol

Participants

Reaction Steps

1-Benzyloxy-4-[3-(1-methylethyl)aminopropoxy]benzene (11.5 g) was added to an hydrogenation bottle containing 250 ml of ethanol and hydrogenated over 1 g of 10% palladium on carbon (room temperature; starting pressure of 50 psi). After the theoretical uptake of hydrogen, the mixture was filtered and the solvent distilled in vacuo giving 8.1 g of 4-[3-(1-methylethyl)aminopropoxy]phenol, mp 92°-100° (96.4% pure by gas chromatography). Mass spectrum was compatible.
