Ethyl 2-(3-(cyclopropylmethoxy)-4-nitrophenyl)-4-methylpentanoate → Ethyl 2-(4-amino-3-(cyclopropylmethoxy)phenyl)-4-methylpentanoate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of ethyl 2-(3-(cyclopropylmethoxy)-4-nitrophenyl)-4-methylpentanoate (2.0 g, 5.9 mmol), in dry MeOH (50 mL) Pd(OH)2 (1.1 g) was added. The mixture was reduced under an atmosphere of H2 for 6 h at room temperature. The reaction mixture was filtered off through a pad of Celite™, washing with MeOH. The combined filtrates were concentrated under reduced pressure to yield ethyl 2-(4-amino-3-(cyclopropylmethoxy)phenyl)-4-methylpentanoate (1.69 g) as a thick liquid.
