1-(2-Amino-3-nitrophenyl)ethan-1-one → 1-(2,3-Diaminophenyl)ethanone

Participants

Reaction Steps

A slurry of 1-(2-amino-3-nitro-phenyl)-ethanone (0.2 g, 1.11 mmol) and 10% palladium on carbon (0.020 g) in methanol (10 mL) was hydrogenated with a hydrogen balloon for 2 h. After completion of the reaction, the reaction mixture was filtered and evaporated under vacuum to obtain the title compound as off white solid (0.120 g, 72.28%)
