N-Methyl-2,6-dinitroaniline → N2-Methylbenzene-1,2,3-triamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of N-methyl-2,6-dinitroaniline (407 mg, 2.06 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (6.5 mL) was added palladium on carbon (45 mg), and the mixture was purged with hydrogen and stirred under balloon pressure hydrogen for 5 hr at room temperature. The catalyst was removed by filtration, and the filtrate was concentrated in vacuo to give the title compound (280 mg, 2.04 mmol, 99%) as an oil.
