Morpholine → HCID 16641133, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of the above nitrobenzene (9.68 g, 30.3 mmol) in ethanol (110 ml) and methanol (40 ml) was hydrogenated 2 h at 3 MPa in the presence of morpholine (0.6 ml) and Rh/C (KO 319) catalyst (2 g). The catalyst was filtered off, the filtrate evaporated in vacuo and the residue was stripped with toluene (3×20 ml). The oily residue crystallized after standing at room temperature. After washing the solid with petroleum ether and drying, 2-(2-(2-bromophenyl)ethyl)-5-methylaniline (8.15 g, 92%) was obtained.
