Ethyl Acetate → N-(4-Methyl-pyridin-3-yl)-benzene-1,2-diamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

10% Pd/C (100 mg) was charged portion wise to a solution of (4-methyl-pyridin-3-yl)-(2-nitro-phenyl)-amine (I-171a: 600 mg, 2.62 mmol) in methanol (15 mL) under nitrogen atmosphere. The resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature under hydrogen atmosphere for 2 hours. The reaction was monitored by TLC (80% ethyl acetate in hexane). The reaction mixture was filtered and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to afford 525 mg of the product (98.91% yield).
