Water → 4-Thiomorpholinoaniline

Participants

Reaction Steps

Stannous chloride dihydrate (10 g, 44.4 mmol) was added to a solution of 4-(4-nitro-phenyl)-thiomorpholine (2 g, 8.9 mmol) in ethyl acetate and stirred at room temperature for 4 hr. Water was added and the reaction mixture was neutralized with triethyl amine. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulphate, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure to yield 4-thiomorpholin-4-yl-phenylamine (1.2 g, 60%) as a solid.
