Reaction Steps

A suspension of 2,4-difluoro-5-nitrobenzonitrile (1.0 g, 5.43 mmol) and Pd/C 10% (0.1 g, 0.94 mmol) in MeOH (20 mL) was hydrogenated (balloon) for 5 hr. This was filtered and the solvent was removed. Flash chromatography on silica gel eluting with hexane containing 20% EtOAc gave 5-amino-2,4-difluorobenzonitrile (0.59 g) as a light yellow solid.
