Procedure

A solution of 8.6 g (30.9 mmol) of methyl 5-[4-(difluoromethoxy)phenyl]nicotinate in concentrated acetic acid (112 ml) was admixed with 841 mg of palladium/carbon (10% palladium) and 1.12 g of platinum(IV) oxide. This was followed by hydrogenation under a hydrogen atmosphere at standard pressure for 24 h. The reaction solution was concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was taken up in water, acidified (pH 1) with 1 N hydrochloric acid, extracted with diethyl ether, then basified (pH>10) with saturated aqueous sodium hydrogencarbonate solution and extracted repeatedly with ethyl acetate. The combined filtrates were dried over sodium sulphate, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. Yield: 6.6 g (74% of theory)
