a,a-Dimethylphenethylamine ( Journal of Organic Chemistry,1972, 1862)
A mixture of 5,0g (0,027 mol) of (2-Methyl-2-nitropropyl)benzene, 63 ml ethanol, 12 ml glacial acetic acid, an 1 g of 10% palladium on charcol (50% water wet) was hydrogenatet at 40° an 50 psi until the hydrogen uptake ceased in ca. 3 hr. The yield was 4,1 g (0,027 mol, 100%)
SWIM ask me:
1.Does it also work with ispopropanol instead of ethanol
2.If the compound was changed to 1-Phenyl-2-nitropropene or others will it also yield 100 %
