Sulfuric Acid → 5-benzyloxy-N1-methylbenzene-1,2-diamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

5% platinum carbon (0.50 g, (DRY)) was added to a 2-propanol (170 mL) suspension of 5-benzyloxy-N-methyl-2-nitroaniline (10.00 g, 38.7 mmol), and catalytic hydrogenation reaction was performed at ordinary pressure. The reaction solution was filtered to remove a catalyst. The catalyst was washed with 2-propanol (20 mL), and the washing liquid was added to the precedent filtrate. Under ice cooling, 97% sulfuric acid (1.06 mL, 19.3 mmol) was added to the mixture, and then the mixture was stirred under the same temperature for 30 minutes. The resulting precipitated crystals were collected by filtration, then washed with 2-propanol (40 mL), and dried at 40° C., thereby obtaining 9.07 g of a light-purple, crystal target compound (yield: 94.7%).
