Participants

Reaction Steps

4-nitro-2-fluorocinnamic acid (3.32 g, 17 mmol) was dissolved in ethyl acetate (50 mL) and ethanol (10 mL) in the reaction flask of a PAR reactor. Pd/C (100 mg) was added and the reactor charged with 100 psi hydrogen. The reactor was recharged to 100 psi after 3 hours and the reaction stirred overnight. The reaction mixture was filtered through a bed of celite and the product isolated in vacuo, 2.53 g 3-(4-amino-2-fluorophenyl)propionic acid (81.2%).
