Hydrochloric Acid → HCID 66895260, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

1.33 g (5.25 mmol) of methyl 2-methyl-2-(2-methyl-3-nitrophenoxy)propanoate were dissolved in 60 ml of ethanol, and 1 ml of concentrated hydrochloric acid and 0.30 g of palladium on carbon (10%) were added. Under an atmosphere of hydrogen, the mixture was hydrogenated at atmospheric pressure and room temperature for 3 h. The reaction mixture was then filtered through Tonsil. The filter residue was washed with ethanol and the collected filtrates were concentrated under reduced pressure. This gave 1.39 g (89% of theory) of the target compound.
