Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-ethyl-4-(6-nitropyridin-3-yl)piperazine (500 mg, 2.12 mmol) in ethanol (20 mL) was added 10% Pd/C (113 mg, 0.11 mmol) and the resulting mixture was stirred under a hydrogen atmosphere for 18 h. The reaction mixture was filtered through celite, washed with ethanol and concentrated to give N-[(E)-2-(4-ethyl-piperazin-1-yl)-penta-2,4-dien-(Z)-ylidene]-methanediamine (377 mg, 86%) as a grey solid.
