Triethylsilane → 2-(3-Aminophenyl)-N,N-dimethylacetamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of N,N-dimethyl-2-(3-nitrophenyl)acetamide (1.6 g, 7.68 mmol) in methanol (20 ml) was added 10% Pd—C (0.327 g,) followed by slow addition of triethylsilane (12.3 ml, 77 mmol) at RT. Reaction was stirred at same temperature for 30 min. The reaction mixture was filtered through celite bed. The filtrate was concentrated to get 2-(3-aminophenyl)-N,N-dimethylacetamide (1.21 g, 88% yield).
