Diethyl[2-(4-nitrophenoxy)ethyl]amine → 4-(2-(Diethylamino)ethoxy)aniline

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4-(2-diethylaminoethoxy)-1-nitrobenzene (Method 10) (1.0 g, 4.2 mmol) and 10% palladium on charcoal catalyst (200 mg) in ethanol (30 ml) was stirred under an atmosphere of hydrogen for 3 hours. The catalyst was removed by filtration through diatomaceous earth and the filter pad was washed with methanol. The volatiles were removed from the filtrate by evaporation to give the title compound (400 mg, 46%) as an oil. M/z: 209 [MH]+.
