4-Ethylaniline (242.36 g; 2.00 mol) is dissolved in dry tetrahydrofuran (900 ml). A solution of n-BuLi (2.5 M in hexanes, 800 ml; 2.00 mol) is added under N2 with cooling maintaining the reaction temperature below 15°. After stirring for 1 hour at 10°, neat pentafluorobenzene (168.06 g; 1.00 mol) is added with cooling to the mixture, keeping the temperature at 10–20°. The reaction is stirred at ambient temperature for 1.5 hours, then aqueous HCl (6 N; 500 ml) is added slowly with vigorous stirring and cooling, keeping the reaction temperature below 35°. The quenched reaction is stirred at ambient temperature for 0.5–18 hours. The aqueous layer is separated, and the organic phase is concentrated under reduced pressure (30–150 mm) to one-fourth volume. The concentrate is diluted with heptane (300 ml) and extracted with water (300 ml). The separated top organic layer is stirred over 230–400 mesh silica gel (50 g) and filtered. The filter cake is washed with heptane (4×50 ml). The combined filtrate and washings are concentrated under reduced pressure (20–30 mm) to give solid crude product. This material is recrystallized from hot heptane (200 ml) and collected at 0°. This solid is washed with cold heptane (100 ml) and dried under reduced pressure at 40° to give pure N-(2′,3′,5′,6′-tetrafluorophenyl)-4-ethylaniline.
