Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 38 (790 mg, 5.17 mmol), methanol (60 mL), and 5% Pd-C (70 mg) was shaken under H2 (20-30 psi) for 3 h, then filtered and evaporated to give 629 mg (99%) of the diamine 39 as a black thick oil. 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ2.160 (s, 3H), 3.308 (bs, 2H), 4.160 (bs, 2H), 6.740 (s, 1H), 7.459 (s, 1H). It was used for the next reaction without further purification.
