N-((1-Benzylpyrrolidin-3-yl)methyl)cyclopropanamine → N-(Pyrrolidin-3-ylmethyl)cyclopropanamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 13.6 g (59.0 mmol) of 1-(phenylmethyl)-N-cyclopropyl-3-pyrrolidinemethanamine, 0.5 g of 20% palladium on carbon and 140 ml of methanol was shaken in an atmosphere of hydrogen at about 4.5×105Pa and room temperature for 24 hours. The catalyst was removed by filtering through Celite, the filtrate concentrated and distilled in vacuo to give 6.3 g of N-cyclopropyl-3-pyrrolidinemethanamine, bp 88°-90°/13 mm.
