3-(2,4-Dimethylphenyl)-1-methyl-5-nitropyridin-2(1H)-one → 5-Amino-3-(2,4-dimethylphenyl)-1-methylpyridin-2(1H)-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution containing 0.17 g (0.66 mmol) of 3-(2,4-dimethylphenyl)-1-methyl-5-nitropyridin-2(1H)-one in 50 ml of ethanol was added 0.10 g of 10% palladium on carbon (Degussa type; 50% wet). The flask was fitted with a balloon of hydrogen and allowed to stir for 5 h. The reaction was filtered through GF/F paper and the filtrate concentrated under reduced pressure to afford 0.063 g (41.9%) of product.
