Ammonium formate → N-cyclopropylbenzene-1,2-diamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of N-cyclopropyl-2-nitroaniline (365 mg, 2.05 mmol) and ammonium formate (516 mg, 8.2 mmol) in methanol was added catalytic amount of palladium on carbon (5%). The mixture was heated to reflux under a nitrogen atmosphere overnight and filtered. The filtrate was concentrated and purified by biotage column chromatography to give N1-cyclopropylbenzene-1,2-diamine (296 mg)
