Reaction Steps

A solution of 2-chloro-4-trifluoromethylpyridine (11.6 g) in glacial acetic acid (70 ml), containing 10% palladium on carbon (2.4 g, 21% (w/w)) was hydrogenated at 40 psi for 4 h. Concentrated hydrochloric acid (20 ml) was added and hydrogenation continued for a further 1 h. The catalyst was filtered off and the filtrate evaporated in vacuo to afford 4-trifluoromethylpyridinium hydrochloride.
