Reaction Steps

200 gm (1.19 mols) of 2-methoxy-6-nitro-toluene were hydrogenated in 2.5 liters of ethanol in the presence of 25 gm of Raney nickel at 100 bar until the absorption of the calculated amount of hydrogen. The reaction mixture was filtered and evaporated in vacuo. After distillation 158.3 gm (97% of theory) of 3-methoxy-2-methylaniline were obtained.
