3-Hydroxy-4-nitrophenyl acetate → 4-Amino-3-hydroxyphenyl acetate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-hydroxy-4-nitrophenyl acetate (3.0 g) in ethyl acetate (50 mL), 300 mg of palladium/carbon (10%) was added under nitrogen atmosphere. The resulting mixture was stirred under hydrogen atmosphere for 10 h at room temperature. The insoluble material was filtered off and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by the column chromatography over silica gel using hexane/ethyl acetate(1:1) to give the title compound (2.48 g).
