Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-(3-nitrobenzyl)morpholine (2.0 g; 9.0 mmol) in THF/ethanol mixture (1:1, 50 mL) was added a catalytical amount of Raney-Ni and hydrazine hydrate (36.0 mmol) and the mixture was stirred for 15 min at ambient temperature, filtered through a celite pad and the filtrate was evaporated to provide pure 3-morpholin-4-ylmethylphenylamine (2.03 g, 98%).
