2,2-Dimethyl-6-nitro-2H,4H-1,3-benzodioxin-4-one → 6-Amino-2,2-dimethyl-benzo[1,3]dioxin-4-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 6-nitro-2,2-dimethyl-4H-1,3-benzodioxin-4-one (4.1 g) in EtOH (30 mL) was added Pd/C (1.947 g) under nitrogen atmosphere. Hydrogenation was performed for 12 hrs at rt using 10 bars of H2. The reaction mixture was filtered through X bed of celite, washed with EtOH and THF. The filtrates were concentrated under vacuum to give the title compound as a pale yellow solid (3.5 g, 98%). 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ 7.71 (d, J=8.7 Hz, 1H), 7.15 (d, J=2.6 Hz, 1H), 6.83 (dd, J=8.7 Hz, 2.6 Hz, 1H), 3.44 (brs, 2H), 2.63 (s, 6H).
