Reaction Steps

A solution of 2-chloro-α,α,α-trifluoro-6-nitro-p-tolylphenyl ether (150 g., 0.472 mole) in ethanol (1200 ml.) was shaken in an atmosphere of hydrogen in a Parr apparatus in the presence of PtO2 (600 mg.) until uptake ceased. The catalyst was filtered off, the solvent removed, and the residue taken up in pentane (600 ml.) and filtered through activated silica gel (~ 15 g.) and the solvent removed. The residue was recrystallized from pentane at -20° C. to give 2-amino-6-chloro-α,α,α-trifluoro-p-tolylphenyl ether (94.1 g., 70%) m.p. 47-53° C.
