Acetic Acid → 8-Methyl-8-azabicyclo[3.2.1]octan-3-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A 500-mL Parr hydrogenation vessel was purged with nitrogen and charged with platinum (IV) oxide (1.28 g, 5.64 mmol), 8-methyl-8-aza-bicyclo[3.2.1]octan-3-one oxime (4.00 g, 26.0 mmol), acetic acid (11 mL) and ethanol (110 mL). The bottle was evacuated, charged with hydrogen gas to a pressure of 50 psi and shaken for 24 h on a Parr hydrogenation apparatus. The hydrogen was then evacuated and nitrogen charged to the bottle. The reaction mixture was then mixed with Celite 521 (5.0 g), filtered, and the filtrate evaporated to a solid residue. This residue was dissolved in methanol (100 mL) and this solution treated with sodium carbonate (10 g). The resulting suspension was added diethyl ether (50 mL) and filtered. Evaporation of the filtrate to dryness afforded 3.64 g (100%) of 8-methyl-8-azabicyclo[3.2.1]oct-3-ylamine as a white solid: 1H NMR (300 MHz, CD3OD) δ 5.18 (br s, 2H), 3.35 (br s, 2H), 3.21 (t, J=6.6 Hz, 1H), 2.40 (s, 3H), 2.26-2.00 (m, 6H), 1.68-1.58 (m, 2H).
