Procedure

A solution of 2.02 g (7.06 mmol) of 2'-(chloromethyl)-6'-(trifluoromethyl)-2-chloroacetanilide and 1.0 ml (7.2 mmol) of triethylamine in 60 ml of ethyl acetate was shaken with 79.8 mg of 10% Pd/C under an initial H2 pressure of 50 psi. After 19 hr., the mixture was filtered and evaporated to give 1.57 g of 2'-methyl-6'-(trifluoromethyl)-2-chloroacetanilide assaying 94.2% (yield 83.3%) and contaminated with 1.3% of overreduced product.
