N-Isopropyl-2-Nitro-4-(Trifluoromethyl)Aniline → N~1~-(Propan-2-yl)-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzene-1,2-diamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 5.46 g of N-isopropyl-2-nitro-4-trifluoromethylaniline, 30 ml of ethyl acetate and 5% palladium charcoal (catalytic amount) was stirred for 1.5 hours at room temperature under a hydrogen atmosphere of about 1 atm. The reaction mixture was filtrated through Celite (registered trademark). The filtrate was washed with water, dried over sodium sulfate, then, concentrated under reduced pressure, to obtain 4.35 g of N1-isopropyl-4-trifluoromethylbenzene-1,2-diamine.
