Benzenamine, 2-nitro-4-(trifluoromethyl)- → 4-Trifluoromethyl-1,2-phenylenediamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 6.18 g (30 m mol) of 4-amino-3-nitrobenzotrifluoride in 150 ml of ehtanol was hydrogenated at atmospheric pressure over 1.5 g of 5% Pd/C with Ishii's Catalytic Hydrogenation Apparatus with Magnetic Stirrer Model CHA-M. The catalyst was filtered off. The filterate was evaporated and the residue was crystallized from petroleum ether to give 4.5 g (85.17%) as white crystals.
