Methanol → (2S)-Methyl-[5-(1,3,5-trimethyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-naphthalen-2-yl]-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of (2S)-benzyl-methyl-[5-(1,3,5-trimethyl-1 H-pyrazol-4-yl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-naphthalen-2-yl]-amine (3.70 g, 10.291 mmol) in THF (20 mL) was added to Pd/C (1.20 g, 10% weight of Pd on activated carbon), and MeOH (120 mL) was added to the suspension. The reaction mixture was stirred under H2 overnight (ca. 16 h). It was filtered through Celite washing with AcOEt (2×100 mL) and the solvent was concentrated off to give 2.54 g of the methylamine as pale brown oil. The crude was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel (10-20-60% MeOH/CH2Cl2), to yield 2.05 g of the title product (Rf=0.3 (AcOEt/MeOH/Et3N 20:3:2), pale yellow coloured oil, 74% yield).
