2-Methoxy-4-nitrophenol acetate → HCID 22646533, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 4-acetoxy-3-methoxynitrobenzene (8.5 g, 40 mmol) in ethanol (175 ml) containing 10% palladium-on-charcoal catalyst (50% in water, 0.5 g) was stirred under hydrogen at atmospheric pressure for 1.5 hours. The catalyst was removed by filtration and the volatiles were removed by evaporation to give 4-acetoxy-3-methoxyaniline as an oil (6.92 g, 95%).
