3-Nitro-7-(5-ethyl-2-pyridylmethoxy)quinoline → 3-Amino-7-(5-ethyl-2-pyridylmethoxy)quinoline

Participants

Reaction Steps

In ethanol (20 mL) was suspended 3-nitro-7-(5-ethyl-2-pyridylmethoxy)quinoline (700 mg, 2.26 mmol.), and to the suspension was added platinum oxide (80 mg). Then, catalytic reduction was performed for 3 hours. After the completion of reaction was confirmed, the reaction mixture was filtered over Celite®, and the filtrate was placed under reduced pressure to give the desired compound as residual oil in a quantitative yield.
