4-Azidomethyl 1-(4-iodophenyl)imidazole → 4-Aminomethyl 1-(4-iodophenyl)imidazole

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 4-(azidomethyl)-1-(4-iodophenyl)-1H-imidazole 9.6 (0.725 g, 2.23 mmol) over Ra—Ni (50% aq. slurry, 300 mg) in MeOH (12 mL) was hydrogenated under balloon H2 for 3 h. The mixture was filtrated through CELITE. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo to give (1-(4-iodophenyl)-1H-imidazol-4-yl)methanamine 9.7 as a solid (0.603 g). MS 300.0 (M+H).
