Participants

Reaction Steps

4-Nitrobenzophenone (5.0 g, 0.022 mol) is dissolved in ethanol-dichloromethane (40 ml:30 ml) and hydrogenated at room temperature with 10% palladium on carbon (0.5 g) as a catalyst. The catalyst is filtered off and the filtrate is evaporated to dryness. The product is used in the next reaction step without further purification. Yield 5.2 g.
