Reaktionsschritte

A suspension of N-(4-methyl-3-nitro-phenyl)-3-trifluoromethyl-benzamide (9.91 g, 30.6 mmol) and 10% palladium on charcoal (990 mg) in ethanol (180 ml) is hydrogenated at atmospheric pressure and room temperature. After 2 h the reaction is complete, the catalyst is removed by filtration through Celite, and the filtrate is evaporated to dryness. Recrystallization of the crude product from ethyl acetate/hexanes followed by vacuum drying at 45° C. overnight affords the title compound as fluffy light grey needles: HPLC: tR=5.38 min (purity: >99%, gradient A), ESI-MS: 295.3 [MH]+
