Acetic Acid → HCID 19363369, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

10% Palladium-carbon catalyst (water content 50%, 200 mg) was added to a mixed solution of N-[2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)ethyl]-3-nitrophthalimide (1.67 g, 0.0053 mol, 1 eq) in methanol (20 ml)-ethanol (50 ml)-acetic acid (20 ml), and the mixture was stirred for 3 hours at room temperature in a stream of hydrogen. The reaction mixture was filtered through Celite, and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. The obtained residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (chloroform/methanol=50/1) to give 3-amino-N-[2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)ethyl]phthalimide (360 mg, 24.1%) as a colorless solid.
