Ethyl 4-azido-2-fluoro-3-methylbenzoate → Ethyl 4-amino-2-fluoro-3-methylbenzoate

Participants

Reaction Steps

In 40 ml of ethanol was dissolved 2.00 g of ethyl 4-azido-2-fluoro-3-methylbenzoate, followed by adding thereto 0.40 g of 5% palladium-carbon, and the resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for 5 hours under a hydrogen atmosphere. The reaction mixture was filtered and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was purified by a column chromatography (eluent; toluene:ethyl acetate=10:1) to obtain 0.75 g of ethyl 4-amino-2-fluoro-3-methylbenzoate as colorless crystals.
