N,N-dimethyl-2-nitrobenzamide → 2-Amino-N,N-dimethylbenzamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

Palladium on charcoal (0.54 g, 10% Pd by weight) was added to a solution of 2.1 g N,N-dimethyl-2-nitrobenzamide in 150 mL methanol. The resulting suspension was hydrogenated at room temperature at atmospheric pressure for three hours. After filtration of the catalyst, the solvent was removed in vacuo affording N,N-dimethyl-2-aminobenzamide (1.8 g).
