2-((5-Methoxy-2-nitrophenyl)amino)ethanol → N-(2-hydroxyethyl)-5-methoxy-2-aminoaniline

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a round bottom flask, 2-((5-methoxy-2-nitrophenyl)amino)ethanol (1.43 g, 6.74 mmol), Pd/C (150 mg) and EtOH (30 mL, degassed) was added. The flask was evacuated and backfilled with H2 and the reaction mixture was stirred under H2-atmosphere at rt for 18 h. The reaction mixture was filtered over celite, washed with MeOH and the solvent was removed under reduced pressure to yield 2-((2-amino-5-methoxyphenyl)amino)ethanol as a red solid which was used as such without further purification. LC-MS conditions B: tR=0.30 min, [M+H]+=183.25.
