N-Methyl-2,6-dinitroaniline → N2-Methylbenzene-1,2,3-triamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a flask was added 0.30 g (1.5 mmol) of N-methyl-2,6-dinitroaniline and 40 ml of methanol. The flask was purged with nitrogen followed by the addition of 0.03 g of 10% palladium on carbon. The flask was evacuated and pressurized to 2-3 psig hydrogen and stirred for 1 h. After completion as determined by HPLC, the reaction was filtered through GF/F filter paper. The filtrate was evaporated to give 0.2 g (95%) of product.
