Reaction Steps

A solution of 95 mg (0.5 mmol) of 2-(4-nitrophenyl)-1H-imidazole in 3 ml of ethanol was hydrogenated in the presence of 20 mg of palladium (10% on activated carbon) at RT and standard pressure. The reaction mixture was then filtered through Celite and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure and dried. Yield: 91 mg (quant.)
