反応手順

Stirred acetic anhydride, 300 mL, was cooled to about 7° C., and 25.1 grams (0.20 mole) of 4-fluoro-2-methylaniline was added dropwise during a 30 minute period. Upon completion of addition, the reaction mixture was stirred at about 10° C. for an additional 15 minutes. In a separate reaction vessel, acetyl nitrate was prepared by the dropwise addition of 14.9 mL of 90% nitric acid to 30 mL of stirred, cold (0°-15° C.) acetic anhydride during a 15 minute period. The so-prepared acetyl nitrate was cooled to about -5° C., placed in a dropping funnel, and added dropwise during a 30 minute period to the 2-methylaniline solution. Upon completion of addition, the reaction mixture was stirred an additional 5 hours. After this time the reaction mixture was poured into 400 grams of ice. The resultant solid was collected by filtration, washed with water, and dried at 60° C. under vacuum, yielding 23.0 grams of 5-fluoro-2-methylcarbonylamino-3-methylnitrobenzene, mp 167°-172° C. The NMR spectrum was consistent with the proposed structure.
