N,5-Dimethyl-2-nitroaniline → N1,5-Dimethylbenzene-1,2-diamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

3-(N-Methylamino)-4-nitrotoluene (7.95 g) was catalytically reduced in a solution in 200 ml of methanol using 1.0 g of 10% palladium carbon as a catalyst. After the catalyst was filtered off, the reaction solution was concentrated under reduced pressure to give 6.60 g (101%) of 1-amino-4-methyl-2-(N-methylamino)benzene.
