2-(4-Nitro-3-pentafluorosulfanylphenyl)isoindole-1,3-dione → 2-(4-Amino-3-pentafluorosulfanylphenyl)isoindole-1,3-dione

Participants

Reaction Steps

1.94 g (4.92 mmol) of 2-(4-nitro-3-pentafluorosulfanylphenyl)isoindole-1,3-dione (prepared in example 4) were dissolved in 20 ml of methanol, admixed with 10% palladium on activated carbon and hydrogenated at room temperature at a hydrogen pressure of 5 bar. On completion of reaction, the catalyst was filtered off and the filtrate concentrated. The residue was stirred in a mixture of dichloromethane and n-heptane, filtered with suction and dried under reduced pressure. 2-(4-amino-3-pentafluorosulfanylphenyl)isoindole-1,3-dione having a melting point of 176-178° C. was obtained.
