1-Iodo-4-nitro-2-(trifluoromethyl)benzene → 4-Iodo-3-(trifluoromethyl)aniline

Participants

Reaction Steps

A suspension of 1-iodo-4-nitro-2-trifluoromethyl-benzene (see WO 00/09495) (0.500 g, 1.58 mmol) and Raney Ni (˜0.100 g) in MeOH (10 mL) is stirred for 2 h at rt under a hydrogen atmosphere. The reaction mixture is filtered through a pad of Celite and concentrated to afford the title compound as a brown solid: ES-MS: 285.8 []−; single peak at tR=4.49 min (System 1); Rf=0.33 (Hexane/CH2Cl2, 2:3).
