3-Nitrobenzamide → 3-Nitrobenzylamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

Commercially available 3-nitrobenzamide is reduced with LAH under standard conditions to afford (3-nitrophenyl)methanamine, which is reacted with succinic anhydride under standard conditions to afford 1-(3-nitrobenzyl)pyrrolidine-2,5-dione. This material is reduced at the nitro group and oxidized to afford 1-(3-hydrazinobenzyl)pyrrolidine-2,5-dione.
