“…chloride (14). A mixture of 11 (4.0 g, 30.0 mmol) and 10% Pd/C (3.08 g) in ethanol (80 mL), methanol (30 mL), concentrated HCl (6 mL), and water (10 mL) was shaken on a Parr apparatus at 60 psi for 25 h. The reaction was filtered through Celite, rinsing with 1:1 ethanol/methanol, and was evaporated in vacuo to a solid, which was triturated with 5:1 ethyl acetate/ ethanol to give the title compound (5.95 g, 94%): 1 H NMR (CD3OD) δ 2.58 (s, 3 H), 4.12 (s, 2 H), 6.92 (d, J ) 9.2 Hz, 1 H), 7.93 (d, J ) 9.2 Hz, 1 H).…”
