(2-Methoxy-benzyl)-(6-nitro-quinolin-2-yl)-amine → N2-(2-Methoxy-benzyl)-quinoline-2,6-diamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

(2-Methoxy-benzyl)-(6-nitro-quinolin-2-yl)-amine (0.5 g, 2.0 mmol) were dissolved in ethyl acetate (25 ml). Upon addition of Pd/C (10%, 0.1 g) the reaction mixture was stirred for 45 min at ambient temperature under an atmosphere of hydrogen. Then the catalyst was filtered off, the filter washed with ethyl acetate and the filtrate evaporated. N2-(2-Methoxy-benzyl)-quinoline-2,6-diamine was obtained as a yellow foam (0.40 g, 87%); MS: m/e=280.5 (M+H+).
