Benzenesulfonamide, 3-nitro- → Benzenesulfonamide, 3-amino-

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-nitrobenzene sulfonamide (5 mmol) dissolved in argon (Ar) saturated MeOH was suspended 200 mg of 10% Pd/C. A balloon of H2 gas was connected via a needle to the reaction mixture which was left to stir for 5 h. The solution was purged with Ar again and filtered through celite to remove the Pd/C. The solution was evaporated to give 3-aminobenzene sulfonamide (95%) which was used without further purification at the next step.
