Hydrochloric Acid → Dimethyl 5-(2-aminoethyl)isophthalate hydrochloride

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 365 mg (1.38 mmol) of dimethyl 5-(2-nitrovinyl)isophthalate in 15 mL of methanol and 0.46 mL of 12 N HCl, was added 80 mg of 10% palladium on carbon. The mixture was stirred under a hydrogen balloon atmosphere for 7 h then filtered through celite and evaporated to give dimethyl 5-(2-aminoethyl)isophthalate hydrochloride as a white solid which was used as such immediately in the next step.
