Procedure

10% Palladium on activated carbon (1.0 g, 9.4 mmol, 0.15 eq) is added at room temperature to a stirred solution of 4-methoxy-2-nitro-phenylamine (10.0 g, 59.5 mmol, 1.0 eq) in methanol (70 mL). The mixture is hydrogenated for 72 hours, then filtered through decalite. Solvent is removed to afford 4-methoxy-benzene-1,2-diamine as a dark brown oil (8.0 g, 97% yield).
