Hydrochloric Acid → 2-(Pyrrolidin-1-yl)-5-(trifluoromethyl)aniline

Concentrated hydrochloric acid (1.36 ml, 16.3 mmol) and anhydrous tin dichloride (1.55 g, 8.16 mmol) were sequentially added at 0° C. to a methanol (4 ml) solution of 1-[2-nitro-4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]pyrrolidine (606 mg, 2.33 mmol), obtained as described in Referential Example 3-1. The resulting mixture was stirred for four hours. A saturated solution of sodium hydrogen carbonate was added to the mixture, and the resulting mixture was extracted three times with ethyl acetate. The obtained organic layer was washed with a saturated sodium chloride solution, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (50 g, hexane/ethyl acetate=15/1). Thus, 1-[2-amino-4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]pyrrolidine (550 mg, quant.) was yielded as a red-orange colored oily material.
