Abstract: The title compound, C₉H₁₂N₂O₂, is the product of the second step in the synthesis of N-(4-amino-3-methoxyphenyl)methanesulfonamide, the side chain of an anticancer drug (viz. Amsacrine). The compound, obtained by the reduction of N-(2-methoxy-4-nitrophenyl)acetamide in EtOH with Pd/C as catalyst, under a hydrogen atmosphere, crystallizes from ethylacetoacetate.
