Benzene, 1-ethynyl-3-nitro- → Benzenamine, 3-ethynyl-

Participants

Reaction Steps

This experiment was carried out using 735 grams of 3-nitrophenylacetylene in isopropanol (6.6% wt. conc.) over 140 grams of the cobalt polysulfide paste from Example 11. After reaction time of 1.4 hours, analysis showed that 82% of feed had been converted, and that an 82% yield to desired 3-aminophenylacetylene was obtained. About 18% of product was polymeric in nature. This run is summarized in Table 1 below.
