Reaction Steps

A solution of 4-trifluoromethylcinnamic acid (commercial available) in methanol is hydrogenated with Pd/C (5 wt %) at 2 bar until 4-trifluoromethylcinnamic acid has reacted completely. After removal of the catalyst by filtration the 4-trifluoromethylhydrocinnamic acid is further reacted in step 2 to compound 2.
