2-Fluoro-4-nitrophenol → Phenol, 4-amino-2-fluoro-

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of platinum oxide (0.010 g) and 2-fluoro-4-nitrophenol (Aldrich, 1.24 g, 7.78 mmol, 1.0 eq) in MeOH (100 mL) was stirred under a H2 atmosphere at 50 psi at room temperature. The reaction mixture was filtered through Celite® and the filtrate concentrated in vacuo to afford the desired compound (1.00 g, 100%), as a solid which was used without further purification. 1H NMR (DMSO-d6) δ 8.57 (s, 1H), 6.46-6.47 (m, 1H), 6.33-6.46 (m, 1H), 6.19-6.21 (m, 1H), 4.79 (s, 2H);
