Ethanol → 4-amino-N-(1-methylpiperidin-4-yl)benzamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 4.34 g (0.0165 mole) of N-(1-methyl-piperidin-4-yl)-4-nitro-benzamide, 0.50 g of 10% palladium on carbon catalyst, 200 mL of ethanol and 30 mL of tetrahydrofuran was stirred under an atmosphere of hydrogen for 4 hours. The mixture was then filtered through Celite and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was recrystallized from methanol-ethyl acetate to give 2.21 g of 4-amino-N-(1-methyl-piperidin-4-yl)-benzamide as off-white crystals.
