1-tert-Butyl-2-(2-nitrophenoxy)benzene → HCID 5104180, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-tert-butyl-2-(2-nitrophenoxy)benzene (˜20 g, crude) in MeOH/THF (1:1, 200 mL) was added 10% Pd/C (2 g). The mixture was hydrogenated under 75 psi overnight. The mixture was filtered through Celite® cake and the filtrate was evaporated to give the crude product as a black oil. Purification by flash chromatography (0-30% EtOAc/hexane) provided 135a (11 g) as a brown solid.
