2-Nitro-4-(trifluoromethyl)phenol → 2-Amino-4-(trifluoromethyl)phenol

Participants

Reaction Steps

2-Nitro-4-trifluoromethylphenol (340 μL, 2.41 mmol) was dissolved in methanol (50 mL) and processed through the H-Cube with a 10% Pd/C Catalyst cartridge at ambient temperature and pressure. The eluent was concentrated under reduced pressure to provide 2-amino-4-trifluoromethylphenol as a light brown solid (438 mg, 100%). (CI, m/z): [M+H]+ 178, [M−H]− 176; 1H NMR (CDCl3): δ 6.96 (d, J=2.0 Hz, 1H), 6.89-6.94 (m, 1H), 6.74 (d, J=8.2 Hz, 1H), 4.10 (br s, 2H).
