3,5-difluoro-2-nitrobenzoic acid → 2-Amino-3,5-difluorobenzoic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

3,5-Difluoro-2-nitro-benzoic acid (2.908 g, 0.01432 mol), 10% Palladium on Carbon (50% Wet) (0.61 g). and Methanol (15 mL) was shaken under an atmosphere of Hydrogen at 38 PSI overnight. The reaction mixture was filtered through celite and concentrated under reduced pressure and azeotroped with toluene to give 2-Amino-3,5-difluoro-benzoic acid as off white solids (2.44 g, 99%). 1H-NMR (CDCl3): 7.45 (d, 1H, J=9.3 Hz), 7.03 (m, 1H), 5.65 (br s, 2H).
