Procedure

Lithium aluminum hydride (5.6 g) is suspended in dry diethyl ether (70 ml) and thereto is added dropwise with stirring a solution of 1-[2-(p-toluenesulfonyloxy)ethyl]-2,3,6-trifluorobenzene (23.3 g) in dry diethyl ether (170 ml) at below 10° C., and the mixture is stirred at room temperature for one hour. To the reaction mixture are added water (5.6 ml), 10% aqueous sodium hydroxide (10.0 ml) and water (5.6 ml) in this order, and the mixture is stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes. The resulting white precipitates are filtered off, and the filtrate is concentrated under atmospheric pressure to give 2,3,6-trifluoro-1-ethylbenzene (13.2 g), as colorless oil.
