Reaction Steps

5-Methyl-1-(1-methylethoxy)-2-nitrobenzene, 17.7 g (91 mmol), is dissolved in methanol, palladium on charcoal is added and the mixture is exposed to hydrogen gas until the required amount of hydrogen is absorbed. The mixture is worked up in the usual manner to give 15 g of 4-methyl-2-(1-methylethoxy)benzenamine.
