1-(1-Methylethyl)-4-[2-methyl-3-(methyloxy)-4-nitrophenyl]piperazine → 3-Methyl-4-[4-(1-methylethyl)-1-piperazinyl]-2-(methyloxy)aniline

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1-(1-methylethyl)-4-[2-methyl-3-(methyloxy)-4-nitrophenyl]piperazine (5.5 g, 18.7 mmol) and Raney Ni (2 g) in 200 mL of MeOH was stirred under an atmosphere of H2 overnight. The mixture was filtered and taken to a residue under reduced pressure to afford 3-methyl-4-[4-(1-methylethyl)-1-piperazinyl]-2-(methyloxy)aniline as a white solid (4.50 g, 91% yield). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ ppm 1.10 (d, J=6.4 Hz, 6H), 2.24 (s, 3H), 2.73-2.67 (m, 5H), 2.89 (m, 4H), 3.63 (s, 2H), 3.73 (s, 3H), 6.58 (d, J=8.4 Hz, 1H), 6.71 (d, J=8.4 Hz, 1H).
