Steps:

43; 45 Example 43
Example 43 (Synthesis of 4-aminomethyltetrahydropyran) In an autoclave made of stainless equipped with a stirring device, a thermometer and a pressure gauge and having an inner volume of 200 ml were charged 10.0 g (90.0 mmol) of 4-cyanotetrahydropyran, 50.0 g of 22% by weight ammonia-methanol solution and 2.0 g (17.0 mmol in terms of a nickel atom) of developed Raney nickel (available from Nikki Chemical Co., Ltd.; sponge nickel N154D), and the mixture was reacted under hydrogen atmosphere (0.51 to 0.61MPa) at 45 to 55°C for 17 hours under stirring. After completion of the reaction, insoluble materials were filtered, and the filtrated material was washed with 30 ml of methanol. The filtrate and the washed solution were combined and concentrated under reduced pressure, and then, the concentrate was distilled under reduced pressure (73 to 74°C, 2.67 kPa) to tive 7.94 g (Isolation yield; 76.6%) of 4-aminomethyltetrahydropyran as colorless liquid. Physical properties of the 4-aminomethyltetrahydropyran are as follows. ¹H-NMR (DMSO-d₆, δ (ppm)); 1.02 to 1.16 (2H, m), 1.10 to 1.50 (2H, brs), 1.34 to 1.45 (1H, m), 1.56 to 1.61 (2H, m), 2.39 (2H, d, J=6.3Hz), 3.20 to 3.29 (2H, m), 3.81 to 3.86 (2H, m) CI-MS (m/e); 116 (M+1), 99 Example 45 (Synthesis of 4-aminomethyltetrahydropyran) In an autoclave made of stainless equipped with a stirring device, a thermometer and a pressure gauge and having an inner volume of 200 ml were charged 10.0 g (90.0 mmol) of 4-cyanotetrahydropyran, 100 ml of 22% by weight ammonia methanol solution and 2.0 g (17.0 mmol in terms of a nickel atom) of developed Raney nickel (available from Nikki Chemical Co., Ltd.; sponge nickel N154D), and the mixture was reacted under hydrogen atmosphere (0.51 to 0.61MPa) at 50 to 60°C for 5 hours under stirring. After completion of the reaction, insoluble materials were filtered, the filtered material was washed with 30 ml of methanol, and the filtrate and the washed solution were combined. When this solution was analyzed by gas chromatography (Internal standard method), 8.84 g (Reaction yield: 85.3%) of 4-aminomethyltetrahydropyran was found to be formed. Incidentally, bis(4-tetrahydropyranylmethyl)amine which is a by-product was not formed.
