benzyl N-[1-(hydroxymethyl)cyclohexyl]carbamate → (1-Aminocyclohexyl)methanol

Participants

Reaction Steps

A slurry of 1-(benzyloxycarbonylamino)-1-(hydroxymethyl)cyclohexane (4.0 g, 15 mmol) and 10% Pd/C (0.40 g) in MeOH (75 ml) was stirred under H2 (1 atm.) for 1 h, then treated with Celite®. The resulting mixture was filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure to give 1-amino-1-(hydroxymethyl)cyclohexane.
