5-Morpholino-2-nitroaniline → 4-(Morpholin-4-yl)benzene-1,2-diamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 5-morpholino-2-nitroaniline (0.50 g, 2.2 mmol) in 4:1 ethyl acetate/methanol (25 ml) was added 5% palladium on carbon (0.11 g) and the reaction mixture stirred under an atmosphere of hydrogen overnight. The reaction mixture was then filtered through celite, the filtered solid washed with methanol, and the combined filtrate and washings concentrated in vacuo to give the crude 2-amino-4-morpholinoaniline which was used immediately for the next step.
