Reaction Steps

Under a nitrogen atmosphere in a Parr bottle, 2,6-dimethyl-4-(octyloxy)-nitrobenzene (7.89 mmoles) was dissolved in methanol (100 mL). To this was added 0.5 grams of 10% Pd/C, and shaken under a hydrogen atmosphere (30 PSI) for 18 hours. The catalyst was filtered off over Millipore filter paper, and rinsed with methanol. The filtrate was concentrated to yield 2,6-dimethyl-4-(octyloxy)-aniline as a thick oil (1.8 grams; 91%). The product was characterized by NMR (DMSO).
