Reaction Steps

A mixture of 5-methyl-2-nitroanisol (265 g, 1.58 mol) and 10% Pd/C (39.75 g) in THF (1.32 L) was stirred overnight at rt under 1 atm of hydrogen. Filtration over kieselguhr and evaporation afforded 216.1 g of the crude product which was used in the next step without further purification.
