Ammonium Chloride → HCID 58771883, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 5-bromo-7-nitro-1-benzofuran (1.9 g, 7.9 mmol; obtained in Step 3), iron powder (2.3 g) methanol (20 mL), 1,4-dioxane (20 mL) and ammonium chloride (2.3 g dissolved in 10 mL of water), was refluxed overnight. The warm mixture was filtered through wetted Celite, which was further washed with hot methanol and the solvents were evaporated. The crude product was dissolved in hot ethanol/water (100 mL) and then water added so that product began to crystallize out. The product was collected by filtration, washed with water and dried in a vacuum oven. Yield: 1.1 g (65%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ ppm 5.63 (s, 2H) 6.68 (d, J=2.0 Hz, 1H) 6.81 (d, J=2.3 Hz, 1H) 6.96 (d, J=2.0 Hz, 1H) 7.92 (d, J=2.3 Hz, 1H).
