Ethanol → 2-(2,2-Difluoroethoxy)benzenamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

The 1-(2,2-difluoro-ethoxy)-2-nitro-benzene (2.16 mmol) was dissolved in a 1:1-mixture of ethanol and ethyl acetate in order to obtain a final concentration of 0.05M. Hydrogenation was performed at 60° C., 1 bar of hydrogen and with palladium on charcoal (10%) as the catalyst. After evaporation of the solvent the title compound was obtained in 90% yield and could be used in the next step without further purification; (calculated) C8H9F2NO [173.16]; (found) [M+H]+=174.
