Acetic acid, 2-(4-nitrophenyl)hydrazide → Acetic acid, 2-(4-aminophenyl)hydrazide

Participants

Reaction Steps

1-Acetyl-2-(4-nitrophenyl)hydrazine (12.7 g, 0.065 mole) and 10% palladium/charcoal (catalytic amount) was suspended in absolute ethanol (300 ml) in a Parr shaker bottle. The reaction mixture was hydrogenated at room temperature until hydrogen uptake ceased (theoretical uptake 15.6 psi-actual uptake was 17 psi).
