1-Methyl-4-[2-(3-methyl-4-nitrophenoxy)ethyl]piperazine → 2-Methyl-4-[2-(4-methylpiperazinyl)ethoxy]aniline

Participants

Reaction Steps

1-Methyl-4-[2-(3-methyl-4-nitrophenoxy)ethyl]piperazine (0.69 g, 2.5 mmol) was dissolved in ethanol (10 mL) and 10% wt palladium on carbon (0.055 g) was added at ambient temperature. The reaction mixture was agitated under a hydrogen atmosphere at ambient temperature for 4 h. Palladium on carbon was removed by filtration with Celite and the solvent was removed under reduced pressure to afford 2-methyl-4-[2-(4-methylpiperazinyl)ethoxy]aniline as oil (0.60 g, y. 97%).
