Reaction Steps

2-amino-4,6-dichlorobenzoic acid (10.0 g, 48.5 mmol) was dissolved in 50 mL of anhydrous THF in a 250 mL 2 neck round bottom flask. The solution was cooled in an ice-water bath. A solution of lithium aluminum hydride (LAH) (40 mL, 2.0 M) in THF was then added dropwise. After all of the LAH was added, the reaction mixture was allowed to warm up to room temperature and stirred at room temperature for overnight. Water (5.1 mL) was added to the reaction mixture followed by 5.1 mL of 15% NaOH and then an additional 9.2 mL of water. The salts were filtered off and washed with THF. The filtrate was concentrated to give (2-amino-4,6-dichlorophenyl)methanol (11.1 g, wet) as a yellow solid, which was taken on to the next step without further purification.
