Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-tert-butyl-4-ethyl-5-nitro-phenol (3.2 g, 14.3 mmol) in methanol (20 mL) was added Raney Nickel (200 mg, 3.4 mmol) under nitrogen atmosphere. The reaction mixture was then stirred overnight at room temperature under an atmosphere of hydrogen (1 atm). The catalyst was removed by filtration through a pad of celite and the filtrate was evaporated under vacuum to give 5-amino-2-tert-butyl-4-ethyl-phenol (1.2 g, 43%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 6.92 (s, 1H), 6.06 (s, 1H), 2.45 (q, J=7.6 Hz, 2H), 1.37 (s, 9H), 1.21 (t, J=7.6 Hz, 3H). MS (ESI) m/e (M+H+) 194.2
