Reaction Steps

Palladium on carbon (10%, 50 mg) was added to a solution of 2,4-dimethyl-6-[4-(4-nitro-phenyl)-buta-1,3-dienyl]-pyridine (0.5 g, 1.78 mmol) in methanol (20 mL) under a nitrogen atmosphere. The reaction mixture was hydrogenated under balloon pressure for 4 h at room temperature, then filtered through celite and washed with methanol. The filtrate was evaporated under reduced pressure and the residue was washed with pentane (20 mL) to afford 4-[4-(4,6-dimethyl-pyridin-2-yl)-butyl]-phenylamine (320 mg, 71%) as a brownish pink semi-solid.
