Hydrochloric Acid → HCID 21083236, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a degassed solution of the cyanobenzoyl benzaz pin from Example 1A (1.50 g, 5.43 mmol) in methanol (50 ml) were added concentrated hydrochloric acid (1.4 ml, 16.2 mmol) and 10% palladium-on-carbon (1.15 g). Hydrogen gas was bubbled through the mixture for 5 h at room temperature. The catalyst was removed by filtration through a pad of celite and the filtrate was evaporated in vacuo. The residue was partitioned between EtOAc and water. The aqueous layer was basified by addition of saturated sodium bicarbonate solution and extracted with dichloromethane (2 times). The combined organic extracts were washed with brine, dried over MgSO4, and concentrated in vacuo to give a white solid; yield 1.12 g (74%).
