4-(2-(Tetrahydropyran-2-yloxy)ethyl)-1-(2-azidoethyl)benzene → 4-(2-(Tetrahydropyran-2-yloxy)ethyl)phenethylamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-(2-(tetrahydropyran-2-yloxy)ethyl)-1-(2-azidoethyl)benzene (4.30 g, 15.61 mmol) in ethanol was added 10% palladium-carbon (0.10 g). The mixture was stirred under an atmosphere of hydrogen gas at room temperature for 16 hours. Then 10% palladium-carbon was filtered off, and the solvent was evaporated. The residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel eluting with ethyl acetate/methanol (=8/2) to give the desired 4-(2-(tetrahydropyran-2-yloxy)ethyl)phenethylamine (2.80 g, 72%).
