Methyl-(3-nitro-4-propyl-phenyl)-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester → (3-Amino-4-propyl-phenyl)-methyl-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of methyl-(3-nitro-4-propyl-phenyl)-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester (110 mg, 0.37 mmol) in EtOAc (10 ml) was added 10% Pd—C (100 mg). The resulting suspension was stirred at room temperature under H2 (1 atm) for 2 days. The progress of the reaction was monitored by TLC. Upon completion, the reaction mixture was filtered through a pad of Celite. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo to afford (3-Amino-4-propyl-phenyl)-methyl-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester (D-15) as a colorless crystalline compound (80 mg, 81%). ESI-MS 265.3 m/z (MH+).
