4-Amino-3-methyl-5-nitrophenol → 3,4-Diamino-5-methylphenol

Participants

Reaction Steps

6.00 g (35.7 mmol) 4-amino-3-methyl-5-nitro-phenol in 200 mL MeOH was combined with 0.600 g palladium on charcoal (Pd/C 10%) and hydrogenated for 4 h under a hydrogen atmosphere of 60 psi at 50° C. The catalyst was removed by suction filtering, the filtrate was evaporated down and the residue was dried under HV.
