Triethylamine → 3-(4-Chlorophenyl)allylamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-(4-chloro-phenyl)-prop-2-ynylamine (14.0 g) in 200 mL each of MeOH and CH2Cl2 was added Et3N (1.2 mL) and Lindlar catalyst (1.4 g) and the resulting suspension was stirred under a H2 balloon. The reaction was followed by TLC (i.e., thin layer chromatography) using 6% methanol-dichloromethane as eluent and once completed, filtered through a CELITE pad, concentrated and purified by chromatography to provide 10.5 g of 3-(4-chloro-phenyl)-allylamine. MS: m/e 168.6 (MH+)
