Procedure
After 4-[4-(Trifluoromethoxy)phenoxy]pyridine (2.00 g) was dissolved in acetic acid (20 mL) and platinum(IV) oxide (200 mg) was added. The resulting mixture was stirred under 50 atms of atmosphere of hydrogen at 24-26° C. for 7 hr 40 min. The reaction mixture was filtered to remove the catalyst followed by concentration in vacuo to give 3.89 g of colorless oily crude product. The crude product was dissolved in toluene (100 mL) and was washed three times with 10 w/v % NaOHaq (50 mL×3) and then was washed three times with water (50 mL×3). The organic layer was condensed under reduced pressure to give 772 mg (37.7% yield) of a pale yellow crystal target compound.
