Reaktionsschritte

A solution of 1-(methoxymethyl)-2-nitrobenzene (4.30 g, 25.7 mmol) and PtO2 (0.29 g, 1.29 mmol) in MeOH (30 mL) was charged with 1 atmosphere hydrogen and stirred at ambient temperature for 1 hour. Charcoal (5 g) was added and the reaction mixture was stirred for 10 minutes. The solid was removed by filtration and washed with methanol. The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to give 2-(methoxymethyl)aniline (3.42 g, 96.9%) as a solid.
