4-Nitrobenzenebutanol → 4-(4-Aminophenyl)butan-1-OL

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4-(4-nitro-phenyl)-butan-1-ol (2.0 g, 1.02 mmol), palladium on carbon (100 mg, 10%) and ethanol (25 ml) was treated with hydrogen gas on a Parr shaker (50 psi) for 1 hour. The mixture was filtered through a pad of celite under suction and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to afford 4-(4-amino-phenyl)-butan-1-ol (100% yield).
