Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-nitro-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzoic acid (646 g, 2.75 mol) and 10% palladium on carbon (50% in water, 71 g) in MeOH (3.6 L) was allowed to stir at rt under an atmosphere of H2 (15 psi). After 3 h, TLC (DCM:MeOH 10:1) showed no remaining starting material. The mixture was filtered and the filtrate was concentrated to give 2-amino-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzoic acid (520 g, 92%) as a white solid.
