Upstream Synthesis Route
  • To synthesize 4-Aminobenzyl alcohol, one can take the following upstream synthesis route:
    
    1. Begin with 4-Nitrotoluene as the starting material.
    2. Subject 4-Nitrotoluene to catalytic hydrogenation using a catalyst such as palladium on carbon (Pd/C) under an atmosphere of hydrogen to reduce the nitro group to the corresponding amine, yielding 4-Aminotoluene (4-Methylbenzenamine).
    3. Perform a hydroxylation reaction on the methyl group of 4-Aminotoluene via oxidation. This can be achieved using an oxidizing agent such as dilute nitric acid or a mixture of potassium permanganate and sodium carbonate, which converts the methyl group to the primary alcohol group, resulting in the desired product, 4-Aminobenzyl alcohol.
