3-(Cyclohexen-1-yl)-1-nitrobenzene → 3-Cyclohexylbenzenamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

3-(Cyclohexen-1-yl)-1-nitrobenzene(7.5 g) is dissolved in ethanol (150 ml), and thereto is added 10% palladium on carbon (750 mg), and the mixture is subjected to catalytic hydrogenation at 25° C. The catalyst is removed by filtration, and the solvent is evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue is purified by silica gel column chromatography (eluent: gradient from 0% to 100% hexane/ethyl acetate) to give the desired compound (5.1 g).
