Hydrochloric Acid → 3-(2',4',5'-Trifluoro-biphenyl-4-yloxymethyl)-phenylamine hydrochloride

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 2,4,5-trifluoro-4′-(3-nitro-benzyloxy)-biphenyl (150 mg, 0.418 mmol) and 10% Pd/C (40 mg) in EtOAc (2 mL), EtOH (10 mL) and 6N HCl (100 uL) was hydrogenated at 50 psi for 1.25 hrs. The reaction mixture was filtered through Celite and evaporated to dryness to give 3-(2′,4′,5′-trifluoro-biphenyl-4-yloxymethyl)-phenylamine hydrochloride. LC-MS (ES) calculated for C19H14F3NO, 329.32; found m/z 330 [M+H]+.
