Hydrochloric Acid → 4-Phenylcyclohexan-1-amine--hydrogen chloride (1/1)

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1-(hydroxyimino)-4-phenylcyclohexane (17.4 mmol) and Raney Nickel (300 mg) in ethanol was hydrogenated (90 psi) at 50° C. for 40 hours. The mixture was filtered through a pad of Celite, washed with MeOH, and concentrated. The residue was dissolved in MeOH, treated with HCl (4 N in dioxane, 20 mmol), and concentrated to give 4-phenylcyclohexylamine hydrochloride (100%).
