N-Methyl-3-nitrobenzenesulfonamide → 3-amino-N-methylbenzenesulfonamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A reaction vessel charged with the prepared N-methyl-3-nitro-benzenesulfonamide (4.2 g, 19.42 mmol) in 150 ml of ethyl acetate was further charged with 450 mg of 10% palladium on carbon. The reaction mixture was stirred under hydrogen atmosphere for 48 h, then was filtered through a pad of silica gel washing with EtOAc, and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. The free base was acidified to give 2.1 g, (˜11 mmol, 58% yield) of the title compound (a compound of formula (W) wherein R is methyl) as its HCl-salt.
