1,1'-Biphenyl, 3-nitro- → 3-Aminobiphenyl

Participants

Reaction Steps

3-nitrobiphenyl (500 mg, 2.5 mmol) and 10% palladium on carbon (267 mg, 2.5 mmol) were dissolved in methanol (1 mL) and purged with nitrogen and placed under an atmosphere of hydrogen overnight. The reaction mixture was filtered and evaporated to yield 326 mg of the desired amine, which was used directly in Example 12.
