1221119-68-1 → 2-(4-Amino-2-fluorophenyl)ethanol

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 2-(2-fluoro-4-nitrophenyl)ethanol (200 mg, 0.94 mmol, 1.0 eq) in ethanol (10 mL) was added 10% Pd/C (50 mg) and the mixture was stirred under a H2 gas balloon at RT for 5 h. The reaction mixture was passed through a celite bed and the solvent of the filtrate evaporated to get 2-(4-amino-2-fluorophenyl)ethanol (130 mg, 75%) as a viscous oil (TLC system: EtOAc/PE (1:1), Rf: 0.2).
