Methane → HCID 11805083, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

411 g (3 mol) of 4-nitrobenzene, 238 g (3.3 mol) of butan-2-one and 8 g of a platinum catalyst on activated charcoal (sulfited; 50% moisture content) are placed in an autoclave (volume: 2 liters) fitted with a reciprocating stirrer, and are reacted at 100° C. under a hydrogen pressure of 10 bar, with stirring. When the uptake of hydrogen has ceased (after a reaction time of 5.5 hours), the mixture is cooled, the autoclave is depressurized and the catalyst is filtered off.
