Ethanol → 2-Methyl-3-((4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)methyl)benzeneamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

1-(2-Methyl-3-nitrobenzyl)-4-methylpiperazine (1.2 g, 4.8 mmol) was dissolved in 50 ml of MeOH, and to this was added a slurry of 10% Pd/C in a minimal amount of EtOH. The reaction mixture was evacuated and purged with H2, and then stirred at room temperature for 3 hours. The mixture was purged with N2 for 30 minutes and then filtered through a pad of celite. Solvent evaporation afforded 2-methyl-3-((4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)methyl)benzeneamine.
