2,6-Difluoro-N-{1-[(2-methyl-4-nitrophenyl)methyl]-1H-pyrazol-3-yl}benzamide → N-{1-[(4-amino-2-methylphenyl)methyl]-1H-pyrazol-3-yl}-2,6-difluorobenzamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To 10% palladium on activated carbon (wet, degussa type E101 NE/W) (350 mg, 3.29 mmol, Aldrich) was added a solution of 2,6-difluoro-N-{1-[(2-methyl-4-nitrophenyl)methyl]-1H-pyrazol-3-yl}benzamide (for a preparation see Intermediate 32)(1.6 g, 4.30 mmol) in ethanol (80 ml). The solution was hydrogenated for 1.5 h at ambient temperature. The suspension was filtered through a celite cartridge (10 g) and the catalyst residue washed with methanol (50 ml). The solvent was removed in vacuo to give the title compound as a white foam (1.43 g). LCMS: (System 4) MH+=343, tRET=1.50 min.
