Acetic acid 7-benzyloxy-6-nitro-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalen-2-yl ester → Acetic acid 6-amino-7-benzyloxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalen-2-yl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of acetic acid 7-benzyloxy-6-nitro-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalen-2-yl ester (1.01 g, 2.96 mmol) and 5% Pt/C (150 mg) in EtOAc (20 mL) is hydrogenated at 1 atm and at ambient temperature for 18 h. The mixture is filtered through Celite, and the filtrate is concentrated to give the title compound as an oil, which is used directly in the next step.
