To a solution of (2E)-1,3-bis(3-nitrophenyl)prop-2-en-1-one (2.8 g, 0.0094 mol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (20 mL) was added 10% (by wt.) palladium on carbon and acetic acid (2.0 mL). The mixture was degassed with vacuum and purged with hydrogen three times before shaking on a Parr shaker for 72 hours under a hydrogen atmosphere. The mixture was filtered through celite, evaporated and purified by preparative LCMS (pH 10) to give the desired product (101 mg, 5%). LCMS for C15H19N2 (M+H)+: m/z=227.2.
