3-(benzyl(methyl)amino)-N-(2-methoxyethyl)propanamide → N-(2-methoxyethyl)-3-(methylamino)propanamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-(benzyl(methyl)amino)-N-(2-methoxyethyl)propanamide (1.1 g, 4.39 mmol, 1.00 equiv) in methanol (50 mL) was added 5% palladium-on-carbon (50 mg) and the suspension stirred under a hydrogen atmosphere for 2 h. The solids were filtered out and the mixture was concentrated under vacuum to afford 200 mg (28%) of the product as a white solid.
