Procedure

To a cold (5° C.) suspension of 4-t-butylaniline in a mixture of conc. hydrochloric acid (25 ml) and water (25 ml) was added a solution of sodium nitrite (7.6 g, 0.11 mol) in water (10 ml) keeping the temperature at 5-7° C. At the end of the addition, the mixture was stirred for additionally 15 min, whereafter a solution of sodium tetrafluoroborate (15.4 g, 0.14 mol) in water (30 ml) was added dropwise, maintaining the temperature at 5-8° C. After another 15 min at 5° C. the diazonium salt was filtered off, dried with suction and washed with diethyl ether (yield: 21 g). The diazonium salt was decomposed by gentle heating to 120° C. on an oil-bath. The product was distilled off and collected to yield 1f (11.2 g, 73.5%).
