Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 38 (790 mg, 5.17 mmol), methanol (60 mL), and 5% Pd-C (70 mg) was shaken under H2 (20-30 psi) for 3 h, then filtered and evaporated to give 629 mg (99%) of the diamine 39 as a black thick oil. 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ 2.160 (s, 3H), 3.308 (bs, 2H), 4.160 (bs, 2H), 6.740 (s, 1H), 7.459 (s, 1H). It was used for the next reaction without further purification.
