Tert-butyl 4-(6-nitropyridin-3-yl)piperazine-1-carboxylate → tert-Butyl 4-(6-aminopyridin-3-yl)piperazine-1-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a round-bottom flask was added tert-butyl 4-(6-nitropyridin-3-yl)piperazine-1-carboxylate 125-3 (3.4 g, 11 mmol), Pd/C (0.5 g) and methanol (100 mL). The reaction was stirred for 4 hours under hydrogen atmosphere by attaching a hydrogen balloon. The reaction was flushed with nitrogen and the solid was removed by filtration. The solvent was removed by rotary evaporation to give tert-butyl 4-(6-aminopyridin-3-yl)piperazine-1-carboxylate 125-4 as purple solid. MS m/z 279.2 (M+1).
