Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 32 g (0.13 mole) of (2-methoxy-benzyl)-(2-nitro-phenyl)-amine (1) and 3.2 g Pd/C in 200 mL of 1:1 ethyl acetate:ethanol is treated at 40 psi of hydrogen for 1 hour. The reaction mixture is then filtered through celite and washed with 200 mL of ethanol. The solvent is then removed in vacuo to afford 28.2 g (0.12 mole, 92%) of N-(2-Methoxy-benzyl)-benzene-1,2-diamine (2).
