HCID 54569294, compound → 3-Hexylaniline

Participants

Reaction Steps

The 3-(1-hexenyl)nitrobenzene (11.0 g, 0.054 m) was dissolved in absolute ethanol (500 ml), treated with 1.1 g of 10% palladium on charcoal catalyst and hydrogenated on a Parr apparatus at about 45 psi for 21/2 hours. Hydrogen uptake had ceased. The reaction mixture was filtered to remove catalyst, concentrated under vacuum, and then resulting oil purified by Kuglrohr distillation (BP 75°-85° C. at 0.05 mm Hg) to yield 3-hexylaniline (8.6 g, 90% yield) as a clear colorless oil.
