Procedure

To a solution of 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoro-2-(3-nitrophenyl)propan-2-ol (6.0 g, 21 mmol) in ethanol (60 mL) was added ammonium formate (6.0 g) and Pd/C (10%, 600 mg). The mixture was heated at reflux for 5 min and was cooled to room temperature. The Pd catalyst was removed via filtration through Celite using ethanol. The combined filtrate was evaporated to dryness and the residue was washed with CH2Cl2 to yield 2-(3-aminophenyl)-1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoropropan-2-ol (4.1 g, 67% over two steps). 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 8.37 (s, 1H), 7.11 (t, J=7.9 Hz, 1H), 6.93 (s, 1H), 6.77 (d, J=7.8 Hz, 1H), 6.65 (dd, J=8.0, 1.6 Hz, 1H), 5.34 (s, 2H). MS (ESI) m/e (M+H+) 260.1.
