Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-nitro-4-aminophenol (4.6 g, 30 mmol) in methanol is added 500 mg of Pd/C. A hydrogenation reaction is performed at room temperature for 2 hours and then terminated. The Pd/C is removed by filtration to obtain 4.1 g of 3-hydroxy-o-phenylenediamine, with a yield of 95%.
