Participants

Reaction Steps

2-amino-6-(trifluoromethyl)benzoic acid (20 g, 97 mmol) was dissolved in tetrahydrofuran (120 mL) in a 3-neck RB flask equipped with an addition funnel and a condenser. The solution was cooled in an ice-water bath. LiAlH4 (83 mL, 166 mmol) (2M solution in THF) was then added dropwise. After all of the LiAlH4 solution was added, the reaction mixture was allowed to warm to room temperature and stirred at room temperature overnight. The reaction was then quenched by adding 10 mL of Water, then 10 mL of 15% NaOH and then 25 mL of Water. The salts were filtered off and the solvents were evaporated under vacuum. The product was used as is (18 g, 97% yield.
