Reaction Steps

A solution of 4-[2-(5-methyl-2-pyridyl)ethoxy]nitrobenzene (15.0 g) in methanol (150 ml) was subjected to catalytic reduction under 1 atmospheric pressure in the presence of 10% Pd-C (50% wet, 2.0 g). The catalyst was filtered off, and the filtrate was concentrated to give 4-[2-(5-methyl-2-pyridyl)ethoxy]aniline as crystals (12.3 g, 92.5%). Recrystallization from ethyl acetate-hexane gave colorless prisms, m.p. 74°-75° C.
