2-Nitro-3-(trifluoromethyl)aniline → 2,3-Diaminobenzotrifluoride

Participants

Reaction Steps

A slurry of 2-nitro-3-trifluoromethyl-phenylamine (0.678 g, 3.2 mmol) and 10% palladium on carbon (0.067 g) in methanol (20 mL) was hydrogenated with a hydrogen balloon for 2 h. After completion of the reaction, the reaction mixture was filtered and the solvent was evaporated under vacuum to obtain the title compound as off white solid (0.420 g, 73.17%).
