Ethyl 1-(4-nitro-3-(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)phenyl)cyclobutanecarboxylate → Ethyl 1-(4-amino-3-(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)phenyl)cyclobutanecarboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of ethyl 1-(4-nitro-3-(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)phenyl)cyclobutanecarboxylate (900 mg), in dry MeOH (50 mL), Pd(OH)2 (400 mg) was added and the mixture reduced under an atmosphere of H2 for 6 h at room temperature. The mixture was filtered through a pad of Celite™ washing with MeOH, the combined filtrates were concentrated under reduced pressure to yield ethyl 1-(4-amino-3-(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)phenyl)cyclobutanecarboxylate (800 mg) as a thick liquid.
