1,2,4-Trimethyl-5-nitrobenzene → 2,4,5-Trimethylaniline

Participants

Reaction Steps

19.70 g of 2,4,5-trimethylnitrobenzene are dissolved in 500 ml of ethanol and the solution is then hydrogenated at room temperature and pressure in the presence of 1 g of 5% Pd/C. The catalyst is filtered off on Celite® and the medium is then evaporated to give 15.67 g of the expected compound.
