Reaktionsschritte

332 g of 2,6-difluorobenzaldehyde were placed under nitrogen in a 0.7 1 autoclave and admixed with 6.4 g of 5% strength by weight palladium-on-carbon (catalyst from Heraeus type K-0227, containing 50% by weight of water). The autoclave was closed and purged with nitrogen. 50 bar of hydrogen were then injected and the contents of the autoclave were heated to 80° C. Hydrogenation was carried out for a total of 4 hours while stirring. After cooling and venting, the reaction mixture was filtered through Celite® filter aid, the autoclave was rinsed with 50 g of isopropanol and the filter cake was washed with 150 g of isopropanol. The solvent was distilled from the combined filtrates and washings and the crude product mixture was subsequently distilled off. 288 g of 2,6-difluorobenzyl alcohol were obtained (90% of theory).
