Procedure
A solution of 4-chloro-5-ethoxymethyl-2-fluoronitrobenzene (0.9 g, 0.0039 mole) in glacial acetic acid (50 ml) was added to a 250 ml Parr bottle containing platinum IV oxide (0.3 g) under a nitrogen atmosphere. The Parr bottle was placed on a Parr hydrogenation apparatus and charged with hydrogen. The reaction mixture was allowed to shake until hydrogen absorption ceased. The catalyst was removed by vacuum filtration. The 4-chloro-5-ethoxymethyl-2-fluoroaniline produced was used in the next step in acetic acid solution without being isolated.
