Participants

Reaction Steps

3-Anilino-1-benzylpyrrolidine (1.2 g) was dissolved in ethanol (20 ml), 10% palladium-carbon (0.5 g) was added thereto. The mixture was stirred at room temperature, and hydrazine monohydrate (0.24 g) was added. The mixture was stirred under heating for 2 hours and cooled to room temperature. 10% Palladium-carbon was filtered off with celite, and the filtrate was concentrated to give 3-anilinopyrrolidine (0.67 g).
