1-(4-Nitrophenyl)cyclopropanecarboxylic acid → 1-(4-Aminophenyl)cyclopropanecarboxylic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-(4-nitrophenyl)cyclopropanecarboxylic acid (500 mg) obtained in Step B of Example 145 in ethanol (10 mL) was added palladium-activated carbon ethylene diamine complex (Pd 8.5 to 11.5%) (100 mg), and the mixture was stirred overnight at room temperature under hydrogen atmosphere (at normal pressures). The palladium carbon was removed by filtration through Celite, and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure to give the title compound (260 mg).
