Hydrochloric Acid → 5-Amino-2-methoxybenzotrifluoride

反応手順

A suspension of 4-methoxy-3-trifluoromethyl-nitrobenzene (2.2 g) and iron powder (1.68 g) in ethanol (35 mL) and water (15 mL) is treated with a solution of concentrated hydrochloric acid (0.42 mL) in ethanol (6 mL) and water (3 mL) and the mixture is heated to reflux for approximately 1 hour. The mixture is then cooled, filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting oil is dissolved in ethyl acetate and extracted three times with 5% aqueous hydrochloric acid. The pooled acidic extracts are then cooled in an ice bath and basified with solid potassium carbonate, then extracted with ethyl acetate. These organic extracts are washed with saturated aqueous sodium chloride, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, concentrated under reduced pressure, then passed through a short column of silica gel (ethyl acetate is used as the eluant) to provide the desired compound as an amber oil.
