Sodium Hydroxide → 4-Bromo-N1-methylbenzene-1,2-diamine

Temperature

70 °C

A suspension of 4-bromo-N-methyl-2-nitroaniline (5328 mg, 22.04 mmol) in EtOH (100 ml) was treated with SnCl2.2H2O (25.61 g, 110.2 mmol) and the resulting mixture heated at 70° C. under an atmosphere of Nitrogen for 5 h. The reaction mixture was then cooled to rt and treated with ice-water (50 ml) followed by aqueous NaOH (4 N) until pH>8. This basic mixture was then extracted with EtOAc (3×150 ml) and the combined extracts washed with brine (3×100 ml), dried over MgSO4 and concentrated in vacuo to afford the title compound. 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ ppm=2.68 (s, 3 H), 4.74 (brs, 3 H), 6.27 (d, 1 H, J=8.4 Hz), 6.61 (dd, 1 H, J=2.0 & 8.4 Hz) and 6.66 (d, 1 H, J=2.0 Hz). MS(ES+): m/z 201.10 and 203.12[MH+].
