Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 2-(3-methyl-4-nitrophenyl)-1H-imidazole (1.17 g, 5.76 mmol) and 10% Pd/C (0.8 g) in EtOH (5 mL) was added dropwise HCO2NH4 [3.63 g, 57.64 mmol., dissolving in MeOH (50 mL)]. After 1 h, TLC showed the reaction was complete. Filtration and the filtrate was evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was dissolved in DCM (30 mL) and filtrated. The filtrate was concentrated to afford 4-(1H-imidazol-2-yl)-2-methylaniline as a yellow solid (1.0 g, 99%).
