Procedure

A suspension of 2-chloro-4-fluoro-5-nitrophenol (9.17 g) and platinum dioxide (500 mg) in ethanol (120 ml) was subjected to catalytic reduction with hydrogen at room temperature and atmospheric pressure until a designed amount of hydrogen was absorbed. The catalyst was removed by filtration, and the filtrate was concentrated. The residue was extracted with ether, and the ether layer was concentrated to obtain 6.6 g of 3-amino-6-chloro-4-fluorophenol. M.P., 145°-146° C. (decomp.).
