Benzenamine, N,N,2-trimethyl-4-nitro- → 1-N,1-N,2-trimethylbenzene-1,4-diamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of dimethyl-(2-methyl-4-nitro-phenyl)-amine (0.49 g, 2.74 mmol) in methanol (10 ml) was hydrogenated over 10% Pd/C at 30 psi until no further gas uptake was observed. The reaction mixture was then filtered over celite and the filtrate evaporated to yield 4-amino-2-methyl-N,N-dimethyl aniline (0.3 g, 73%).
