4-[2-(4-Nitro-phenyl)-vinyl]-pyridine → 4-[2-(Pyridin-4-yl)ethyl]aniline

Participants

Reaction Steps

To the EtOAc solution (30 mL) of 4-[2-(4-nitro-phenyl)-vinyl]-pyridine (160 mg, 0.71 mmol) was added palladium on carbon (0.1 g, 50% wet). The suspension was hydrogenated at 50 psi of hydrogen for 2 hours. The mixture was filtered over a celite pad. The filtrate was concentrate to give 4-(2-pyridin-4-yl-ethyl)-phenylamine as a yellow solid (140 mg, 100%).
