2-(4-Benzyloxy-2-methoxymethoxyphenyl)ethylamine → 4-(2-Aminoethyl)-3-methoxymethoxyphenol

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 18.00 g of 2-(4-benzyloxy-2-methoxymethoxy phenyl)ethylamine, 3.6 g of 10% palladium on carbon (Degussa Inc.: E101 NE/W) and 230 mL of ethanol was stirred under a hydrogen atmosphere at room temperature for 1 hour. After the catalyst was filtered off through a diatomaceous earth, the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to give 12.65 g of 4-(2-aminoethyl)-3-methoxymethoxyphenol as a colorless solid.
