Hydrazine hydrate (1:1) → HCID 86661462, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

5-Nitro-2,3-dimethoxynaphthalene (0.483 mmol) was dissolved in 4.0 ml of ethanol. The resulting solution was admixed with 0.18 ml of hydrazine hydrate and 18.5 mg of 10% palladium/carbon catalyst, and heated under reflux for 80 minutes. After cooling, the palladium/carbon catalyst was filtered off, and the filtrate was concentrated. The crude material thus formed was not purified further and was used as such for the next step.
