Participants

Reaction Steps

To 10 mmol of 4-nitro-5-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)cyclohexene in 100 mL of ethyl acetate was added 200 mg of 10% palladium on carbon. The resulting suspension was shaken at 50 psi of hydrogen on a Parr Apparatus for one hour. The catalyst was removed by filtration through Celite® diatomaceous earth and the filtrate evaporated to dryness in vacuo to give a 91% yield of the desired product based on 1H NMR.
