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

Participants

Reaction Steps

A 500-mL round-bottomed flask was purged with nitrogen and charged with 339a (3.1 g, 10 mmol), 10% palladium on carbon (50% wet, 1.0 g), and ethanol (100 mL). It was evacuated, charged with hydrogen gas via a balloon, and stirred at room temperature for 16 h. The hydrogen was then evacuated and nitrogen was charged into the flask. The catalyst was removed by filtration through a pad of CELITE® and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to afford 339b (2.7 g, 97%). MS-ESI: [M+H]+ 279
