5-bromo-N-methyl-2-nitroaniline → 5-Bromo-N1-methylbenzene-1,2-diamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of (5-bromo-2-nitro-phenyl)-methyl-amine (2.60 g) and Raney nickel (0.25 g) in tetrahydrofuran (100 mL) was shaken under hydrogen atmosphere (50 psi) at room temperature overnight. Then, the catalyst was separated by filtration and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to give the crude title compound as a brown oil that was used without further purification.
