Ethyl Acetate → HCID 59427934, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A 50 mL round-bottom flask containing dimethyl-[2-methyl-2-(2-nitro-4-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-propyl]-amine (0.61 g, 2.1 mmol) was charged with 10% palladium on carbon (0.23 g, 0.21 mmol) under nitrogen. Ethyl acetate (5 mL) and methanol (5 mL) were added sequentially via syringe. The atmosphere was replaced with hydrogen, and the reaction was stirred rapidly under 1 atm hydrogen overnight. After approximately 12 h, the reaction was flushed with nitrogen and filtered through a pad of celite, rinsing with methanol. Removal of the solvent in vacuo gave the title compound as a clear and colorless oil. MS m/z 261=[M+H]+. Calc'd for C13H19F3N2: 260.30.
