Reaction Steps

A solution of 3-methyl-4-nitrobenzyl alcohol (Aldrich; 2.000 g; 12.0 mmol) in MeOH (90 ml) is passed through the H-Cube flow hydrogenator fitted with a 10 mol % Pd/C catalyst cartridge (30×4 mm) heated to 25° C. with the full hydrogen option enabled. The flow rate is set at 1 mL/min. Solvent was removed to give the title compound (1.50 g, 91.4%) without further purification.
