Procedure

A mixture of N-(3-fluoro-4-nitro-phenyl)-2,2-dimethyl-propionamide (87.0 g, 0.36 mol) in CH2Cl2 (400 mL) and 6N hydrochloric acid (800 mL) was heated to reflux for 2 hours. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature. The reaction mixture was diluted with 1000 mL of ethyl acetate and potassium carbonate (500.0 g) was added portion wise. The aqueous solution was separated and the organic layer was washed with brine and dried over anhydrous Na2SO4. The solvent was removed by evaporation under reduced pressure; the residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (petroleum ether/ethyl acetate 30:1) to afford 3-fluoro-4-nitroaniline (56.0 g, 99%). 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 8.07 (t, J=8.7 Hz, 1H), 7.86 (dd, J=2.1, 13.2 Hz 1H), 7.59 (brs, 2H), 7.22 (s, 1H).
