4-Chloro-3,5-dinitrobenzotrifluoride → 2-Chloro-5-(trifluoromethyl)benzene-1,3-diamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

40 g of 4-chloro-3,5-dinitro-benzotrifluoride and 47 g of toluene are placed in an agitator autoclave, and the catalyst suspension is flushed in with 4 g of water. Hydrogenation subsequently takes place at a temperature of 100° C. and at a hydrogen pressure of 5 bar. When the hydrogen uptake is complete, the autoclave is cooled and rendered inert with nitrogen. The catalyst is filtered off and washed with toluene. After working up by distillation, 29.8 g of 3,5-diamino-4-chloro-benzotrifluoride (yield 95.8% of theory) are obtained. Elementary analysis:
