4-Benzyl-2-nitrophenol → 2-Amino-4-benzylphenol

Participants

Reaction Steps

10% Palladium on carbon, Pearlman, (50% wet) (2.3 g, 2.2 mmol) and 4-benzyl-2-nitrophenol (5.00 g, 22 mmol) were combined under nitrogen and diluted with 80 mL MeOH delivered via syringe. The vessel was pressurized to 40 psi and shaken in a Parr shaker for ˜24 h. The resulting material was flushed with nitrogen and filtered through Celite, rinsing with MeOH. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo to give 2-amino-4-benzylphenol as a brown solid. MS (ESI) m/z: Calculated: 199.1; Observed: 200.0 (M++1).
