4-ethenyl-1-methoxy-2-nitrobenzene → 5-Ethyl-2-methoxyaniline

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1-methoxy-2-nitro-4-vinyl-benzene (150 mg) and palladium on carbon (10%, 25 mg) in ethyl acetate (10 mL) was stirred under hydrogen atmosphere (balloon pressure) at room temperature overnight. The reaction mixture was filtered on a CELITE™ pad and the filtrate was evaporated to give 5-ethyl-2-methoxy-phenylamine without further purifications.
