Reaction Steps

2-(4-Nitrophenyl)propionamide (5.3 g) in ethanol (250 ml) was hydrogenated over palladium oxide on charcoal (5%, 0.5 g) at atmospheric pressure. The reaction was terminated after 1775 ml of hydrogen had been absorbed and the catalyst was removed by filtration. Removal of the solvent gave the title compound as a white solid (4.5 g), m.p. 120°-122°.
