Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 2-(3-chlorophenyl)-4-nitroanisole (0.5 g, 1.9 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (5 mL) and methanol (5 mL) was added platinum (IV) oxide (1 mg). The reaction was stirred at room temperature under one atmosphere of hydrogen for 4.5 hours. The slurry was filtered through Celite and concentrated under reduced pressure to afford 3-(3-chlorophenyl)-4-methoxyaniline as a light yellow oil (405 mg, 1.7 mmol).
