Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 7.5 mL of p-fluoronitrobenzene, 10.25 mL 2-morpholin-4-yl-ethylamine and 15 mL N,N-diisopropylamine in 36 mL dioxane is heated at 105° C. for 2 days. The reaction mixture is cooled to room temperature, diluted with dichloromethane (360 mL) and washed with water (3×290 mL). Upon evaporation to dryness, the dichloromethane layer yields the (2-morpholin-4-yl-ethyl)-(4-nitro-phenyl)-amine product, which is recrystallized from methanol.
