2-Admantyl-4-methyl-5-nitrophenol → 2-Admantyl-4-methyl-5-aminophenol

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-admantyl-4-methyl-5-nitrophenol (231 mg, 1.6 mmol) in EtOH (2 mL) was added Pd-5% wt on carbon (10 mg). The mixture was stirred under H2 (1 atm) overnight and then filtered through Celite. The filtrate was evaporated to dryness to provide 2-admantyl-4-methyl-5-aminophenol (C-12), which was used without further purification. HPLC ret. time 2.52 min, 10-99% CH3CN, 5 min run; ESI-MS 258.3 m/z (MH+).
