2-METHYL-4-NITRO-N,N-DIETHYLANILINE → N~1~,N~1~-Diethyl-2-methylbenzene-1,4-diamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of diethyl-(2-methyl-4-nitro-phenyl)-amine (340 mg, 1.634 mmol) in methanol (10 ml) was hydrogenated over 10% Pd—C (50 mg) at room temperature and atmospheric pressure until no more gas absorption occurred. The reaction mixture was filtered over celite and the filtrate concentrated to dryness to give N1,N1-Diethyl-2-methyl-benzene-1,4-diamine (243 mg, 46.5%) as oil.
