Diethyl[2-(4-nitrophenoxy)ethyl]amine → 4-(2-(Diethylamino)ethoxy)aniline

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 5 g (21 mmol) of 4-[2-(diethylamino)ethoxy]-nitrobenzene in 50 ml of ethanol was hydrogenated over 100 mg of 10% palladium-on-carbon at room temperature and under atmospheric pressure. After 4 hours the suspension was filtered through a filter aid and the filtrate was evaporated under reduced pressure to give 4 g (92%) of 4-[2-(diethylamino)ethoxy]-aniline as an oil.
