Reaction Steps

Into a 50-mL round-bottom flask, was placed ethyl (2Z)-3-[2-fluoro-4-methoxy-3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]prop-2-enoate (200 mg, 0.68 mmol, 1.00 equiv), Palladium carbon (300 mg), methanol (15 mL). The solution was subjected to 2 atm of H2. The resulting solution was stirred overnight at 30° C. The reaction progress was monitored by LCMS. The solids were collected by filtration. The resulting mixture was concentrated under vacuum. This resulted in 0.21 g of ethyl 3-[2-fluoro-4-methoxy-3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]propanoate as yellow oil. Mass spectrum (ESI, m/z): Calcd. for C13H14F4O3, 295.1 (M+H). found 295.1.
