Procedure

To a refluxing solution of 1-tert-butyl-2-methoxy-5-(trifluoromethyl)-4-nitrobenzene (473 mg, 1.7 mmol) and ammonium formate (473 mg, 7.3 mmol) in EtOH (10 mL) was added 10% Pd—C (200 mg). The mixture was refluxed for 1 h, cooled and filtered through Celite. The solvent was removed by evaporation to give 1-tert-butyl-2-methoxy-5-(trifluoromethyl)-4-aminobenzene (C-18) (403 mg, 95%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.19 (s, 1H), 6.14 (s, 1H), 4.02 (bs, 2H), 3.74 (s, 3H), 1.24 (s, 9H).
