3-(2-Methyl-5-nitrophenyl)furan → HCID 60098266, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A suspension of 4-methyl-3-(3-furyl) nitrobenzene 1 (470 mg, 2.31 mmol) and 10% Pd/C (245 mg, 0.23 mmol) in methanol (10 mL) was placed under an H2 atmosphere and the resulting reaction was maintained overnight at rt. The reaction mixture was filtered through Celite and the remaining solids were washed with EtOAc. The combined organic portions were concentrated to provide 400 mg (2.26 mmol, 98%) of an amber residue as 2: LCMS m/z 178.2 (MH+), tR=1.53 min.
