Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (2-methoxy-ethyl)-methyl-(4-nitro-benzyl)-amine, from step 1, (56 mg, 0.25 mmol) is added methanol (1 mL), hydrazine (33 μL), and Raney-Nickel (10 mg). The reaction mixture is shaken at room temperature for 16 hours, then filtered and the solution concentrated to yield 4-{[(2-Methoxy-ethyl)-methyl-amino]-methyl}-phenylamine, which is used as such for the subsequent reaction.
