4-(4-methoxy-3-nitro-phenyl)-3,6-dihydro-2H-pyran → 2-Methoxy-5-(tetrahydropyran-4-yl)-phenylamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 3.30 g (14.0 mmol) 4-(4-methoxy-3-nitro-phenyl)-3,6-dihydro-2H-pyran (VIII) in 70 ml methanol and 70 ml dichloromethane was added a spatula end of 10% palladium on charcoal and the mixture was then stirred for 20 minutes at room temperature under an atmosphere of hydrogen. The mixture was then filtered, washing with dichloromethane, and the filtrate concentrated in vacuo to afford 2.75 g (95%) 2-methoxy-5-(tetrahydro-pyran-4-yl)-phenylamine (IX) as an off-white crystalline solid ES-MS m/e (%): 208 (M+H+, 100).
