2-Methyl-2-(4-nitrophenoxy)propanamide → 2-(4-Aminophenoxy)-2-methylpropanamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

2-(4-Nitrophenoxy)-2-methylpropanamide was dissolved in methanol (50 mL) and to the solution was added 10% Pd—C (500 mg). The reaction mixture was reacted under hydrogen atmosphere (˜40 psi) for 1 h. The catalyst was filtered off over celite. The filtrate was evaporated to give 2-(4-aminophenoxy)-2-methylpropanamide as a white solid.
