Novel synthesis of 3-amino-2-methylbenzotrifluoride from N-(2-X-5-trifluoromethylphenyl)-S,S-dimethylsulfimide

摘要

This invention relates to a novel process for preparing 3-amino-2-methylbenzotrifluoride, and to certain novel intermediates produced by the process. 3-Amino-2-methylbenzotrifluoride is a key intermediate useful in the preparation of valuable therapeutic agents such as, for example, 2-(2-methyl-3-trifluoromethyl)anilino nicotinic acid.
