4-(4-Chloro-2-fluoro-phenoxy)-3-fluoro-benzonitrile → 4-(4-Chloro-2-fluoro-phenoxy)-3-fluoro-benzylamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

1.0 g (3.76 mmol) of 4-(4-chloro-2-fluoro-phenoxy)-3-fluoro-benzonitrile were hydrogenated in 30 mL methanolic ammonia solution with the addition of Raney nickel at 50° C. under a hydrogen pressure of 50 psi. Then the catalyst was filtered off and the filtrate was evaporated to dryness. The crude product thus obtained was reacted further without any further purification.
