The reaction was stirred at room temperature for 24 hours and then poured slowly into saturated NaHCO3 (250 mL). After neutralization was complete, the reaction was extracted with EtOAc (3×50 mL). The organic extracts were washed with brine (75 mL), dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated. Purification by flash chromatography with 50% EtOAc/hexanes afforded 1.5 g (quantitative) of [3-amino-5-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]methanol. Rf=0.35 (50% EtOAc/hexanes). 1H NMR (CDCl3, 500 MHz) δ 6.98 (s, 1H), 6.84 (s, 1H), 6.81 (s, 1H), 4.65 (s, 2H), 3.87 (bs, 1H).
