Ethanol → 1,3,5-tris(4-aminophenoxy)benzene (TAPOB)

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a 300-mL, 4-necked flask were added 2.46 g (5.03 mmol) of 1,3,5-tri(4-nitrophenoxy)benzene and 5% Pd/C (149 mg), and the inside was replaced with argon. Ethanol (50 mL) and THF (50 mL) were added thereto, and then the flask was equipped with a hydrogen balloon, and the mixture was stirred in a normal-pressure hydrogen atmosphere at room temperature for 3 days. The catalyst was separated by filtration and then the solvent was removed away in vacuo, whereby a desired product was obtained (Quantity: 2.01 g, 5.03 mmol, Yield: 100%).
