2-Fluoro-4-nitro-1-(trifluoromethyl)benzene → 4-Amino-2-fluorobenzotrifluoride

Participants

Reaction Steps

In a round bottomed flask, 2-fluoro-4-nitro-1-trifluoromethyl-benzene (1.00 g, 4.78 mmol) was dissolved in 10 mL of methanol. To this solution was added 10% palladium on carbon (100 mg) and the solution was stirred overnight at room temperature under hydrogen (1 atm). The solution was filtered and concentrated to afford 3-fluoro-4-trifluoromethyl-phenylamine. 1H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 7.3 (m, 1H), 6.6 (d, 2H), 6.2 (s, 2H)
