Participants

Reaction Steps

3-Nitro-N-(methanesulfonyl)phenylcarboxamide (1.6 g) was dissolved in 50 ml of ethanol, treated with 510 mg of 10% palladium/carbon catalyst, and hydrogenated on a Parr apparatus at 30 psi for 15 minutes. The reaction mixture was filtered through Celite and concentrated to give the title compound (1.1 g) as a white solid.
