Benzyl 4-(aminocarbonyl)-3-(cyclohexylamino)benzoate → 4-(Aminocarbonyl)-3-(cyclohexylamino)benzoic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of benzyl 4-(aminocarbonyl)-3-(cyclohexylamino)benzoate (45 mg, 0.128 mmol) in methanol (2 mL) was added palladium on carbon (10W %, Degussa type, 45 mg). The mixture was vigorously stirred under 1 atm of hydrogen for 50 minutes. The catalyst was removed by filtration through celite, and the filtrate was concentrated to provide 4-(aminocarbonyl)-3-(cyclohexylamino)benzoic acid (25 mg, 0.095 mmol, 74% yield) as a yellow powder. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CD3OD): 7.59 (d, 1H), 7.35 (s, 1H), 7.14 (dd, 1H), 3.47-3.39 (m, 1H), 2.05-1.98 (m, 2H), 1.81-1.73 (m, 2H), 1.68-1.60 (m, 1H), 1.52-1.41 (m, 2H), 1.38-1.25 (m, 3H).
