4-methoxy-2-nitro-1-(trifluoromethyl)benzene

A mixture 4-methoxy-2- nitro-1-(trifluoromethyl)benzene (500 mg, 2.261 mmol) and 10% Pd-C (241 mg, 0.226 mmol) in methanol (8 mL) was degassed and then charged with H2, provided with a H2 balloon. The mixture was stirred at rt overnight and then filtered through a pad of Celite. The filtrate was concentrated under vacuum. The residue was purified with a silica gel flash column, eluting with 0-40% EtOAc in hexane to afford 5-methoxy-2- (trifluoromethyl)aniline (236 mg, 1.235 mmol, 54.6 % yield) as an oil. MS (ESI) m/z: 192.0 [M+H]+; 1H NMR (400 MHz, chloroform-d) delta 7.35 (d, J=8.80 Hz, 1H), 6.28-6.40 (m, 1H), 6.24 (d, J=1.98 Hz, 1H), 4.12 (br s, 2H), 3.79 (s, 3H).
