Ethanol → 4-Bromo-3-fluorobenzene-1,2-diamine

Temperature

80 °C

To a solution of 4-bromo-3-fluoro-2-nitroaniline (3.0 g, 12.8 mmol) in THF (30 mL) was added EtOH (30 mL) and H2O (10 mL) followed by iron powder (3.6 g, 63.8 mmol) and ammonium chloride (1.0 g, 19.2 mmol). The resulting mixture was stirred at 80° C. for 16 hours. The mixture was cooled to room temperature and filtered through diatomaceous earth. The solid was washed with EtOH until no further color came through the filter. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo and the crude product was purified by column chromatography on silica gel using a solvent gradient of 0-40% EtOAc in hexane to give the title compound (2.2 g, 84%).
