p-(1-Trifluoromethylheptyloxy)nitrobenzene → p-(1-Trifluoromethylheptyloxy)-aniline

Participants

Reaction Steps

To 100 ml of dry ethanol containing 77.7 g of oa p-(1-trifluoromethyl-heptyloxy)-nitrobenzene, was added 0.5 g of 5% Pd/C (5% palladium carbon) followed by carrying out reduction within an atmosphere of hydrogen at normal pressure under stirring at room temperature. After it was confirmed that no absorption of hydrogen was observed, the catalyst was removed by filtration and then the ethanol was distilled off to obtain 6.7 g of oily oa p-(1-trifluoromethylheptyloxy)-aniline.
