Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A suspension of N-(2-methyl-4-nitrophenyl)benzamide (0.256 g, 1.0 mmol) and tin(II) chloride dihydrate (0.89 g, 3.96 mmol) in ethyl acetate (6 mL) was heated at 70° C. for 19 hr. The reaction mixture was then chilled, poured onto 50 mL ice, basified with 5% NaHCO3 (20 mL), extracted into EtOAc, washed with brine, dried and concentrated in vacuo to give N-(4-amino-2-methylphenyl)-benzamide (0.22 g, 97%). ES-MS (M+H)+=227, (M+Na)+=249.
