4-(2-Methoxy-5-nitrophenyl)morpholine → 4-Methoxy-3-morpholin-4-yl-phenylamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

4-(2-Methoxy-5-nitro-phenyl)-morpholine (w, 390 mg) was dissolved in 10 mL ethanol and reduced under 1 atm H2 using 10% Pd—C as a catalyst. After 14 hours, the catalyst was filtered off and the solvent was evaporated, affording 240 mg 4-methoxy-3-morpholin-4-yl-phenylamine (x) which was used without further purification: m/e: 208.12, MS (ES+): 209.2.
