Reaction Steps

1.4 g of 1,3-dinitro-4-[2-(4-methylphenyl)ethenyl]benzene prepared as described by S. Saravanan and P. Srinivasan, Synth. Commun. 31(6), pages 823-826 (2001) was dissolved in 50 mL of ethanol and hydrogenated using 0.2 g of Pd/C 10% for 4 hours at 8 bar of hydrogen pressure. The catalyst was then filtered off, and the filtrate was evaporated to dryness. This gave a brownish oil which upon addition of 10 mL of ether crystallized. Yield: 1.1 g of yellowish oil.
