Morpholine → 4-(2,6-Difluoro-4-nitrophenyl)morpholine

Participants

Reaction Steps

Morpholine (1.2 g, 14.12 mmol) was added to a stirring solution of 3,4,5-trifluoronitro benzene (1 g, 5.65 mmol) in acetonitrile (15 mL) and the reaction mixture was refluxed for 5 h. A viscous liquid was obtained upon concentration, which was then poured into crushed ice. The solid thus obtained was filtered off and dried under reduced pressure to obtain the title compound (1.2 g, 88%).
