Reaction Steps

Methyl 4-nitro-2-(trifluoromethyl)benzoate (5.20 g, 20.9 mmol) was dissolved in EtOAc (100 mL) and tin chloride dihydrate (9.41 g, 41.7 mmol) was added to the reaction mixture. The reaction was heated at reflux for 2 h. The crude reaction mixture was purified by column chromatography (SiO2, EtOAc/hexanes) to give the title compound. LCMS: (FA) ES− 218.4 (M−1).
