Nitro-4-(2,2,2-trifluoro-1-methyl-ethoxy)-benzene → 4-(2,2,2-Trifluoro-1-methyl-ethoxy)-aniline

Participants

Reaction Steps

Nitro-4-(2,2,2-trifluoro-1-methyl-ethoxy)-benzene (6.74 g) was dissolved in MeOH (70 mL). Pd on carbon (10% Pd, 500 mg) was added and the mixture was hydrogenated at RT for 12 hours. The suspension was filtered and the filtrate was concentrated in vacuo to provide the title compound as a brown liquid (5.8 g). Rf: 0.38 (silica gel, ether/heptane 1:1). MS (m/e): 206.1 (MH+).
