4-(3-Fluoro-4-nitrophenyl)morpholine → 2-Fluoro-4-(4-morpholinyl)benzenamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

2-Fluoro-4-morpholinonitrobenzene (1.80 g) was dissolved in methanol (100 mL) and 10% Pd/C (94 mg) was added. The mixture was placed in a hydrogenator (45 psi) for 2.5 h. The reaction mixture was filtered through celite and washed with methanol. The filtrate was concentrated to give 1.51 g solid. 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ 6.76-6.54 (m, 3H), 3.84 (t, 4H), 3.45 (bs, 2H), 3.02 (t, 4H) ppm. ESI mass spectrum z (rel. intensity) 197.1 (M+H, 100).
