7-Nitro-1-trifluoroacetyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline → 1-(7-Amino-3,4-dihydroquinolin-1(2H)-yl)-2,2,2-trifluoroethanone

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 7-nitro-1-trifluoroacetyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline (D4) (1.51 g, 5.5 mmol) and 10% palladium on charcoal (150 mg, 54% water) in methanol (80 ml) was hydrogenated at atmospheric pressure and ambient temperature for 24 h. The catalyst was removed by filtration and was washed with further methanol. The combined filtrated and washings were concentrated in vacuo to give the title compound as a pale orange solid (1.29 g). 1H NMR (250 MHz, CDCl3) δ (ppm): 7.05 (br, 1H), 6.95 (d, 1H), 6.54 (dd, 1H), 3.78 (m, 2H), 3.65 (br, 2H), 2.74 (br, 2H), 2.03 (m, 2H).
