4-Chloro-4'-nitrostilbene → 4-[2-(4-Chlorophenyl)ethyl]aniline

Participants

Reaction Steps

In an analogous manner to that described in Example 36 b), the hydrogenation of (E)-1-chloro-4-[2-(4-nitrophenyl)ethenyl]-benzene using platinum on carbon (5%) as the catalyst but with a reaction time of 18 hours and simultaneous reduction of the double bond yields the 4-[2-(4-chloro-phenyl)-ethyl]-phenylamine as a light yellow solid; MS: m/e=232 (M+H)+.
