(4-Methoxy-3-nitro-phenyl)-trimethyl-silane → 2-Methoxy-5-trimethylsilanyl-phenylamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

The above trimethyl-silane (760 mg, 3.4 mmol) was dissolved in 25 mL of EtOH. To this was added 10% Pd/C (128 mg). The reaction was stirred for 12 h under a 1 atm balloon of hydrogen gas. The reaction was then filtered through diatomaceous earth and concentrated in vacuo to provide 400 mg (60%) of 2-methoxy-5-trimethylsilanyl-phenylamine as an amber oil which was used without further purification.
