1-Chloro-2,5-difluoro-4-nitrobenzene → 4-Chloro-2,5-difluoroaniline

1-Chloro-2,5-difluoro-4-nitrobenzene (XXXVIII) (17.5 g) was dissolved in acetic acid (150 ml) in a 1L 3-neck round bottom flask equipped with cooling condenser. To it iron powder (35.0 g) was added slowly while the solution was stirred by an overhead stirrer. The reaction was exothermic which occurred in less than 30 min and generated much heat that was absorbed by a cooling bath. After that, ethyl acetate (300 ml) was added and the mixture filtered. The solution was washed with water and dried over sodium sulfate. The product was purified by column chromatography (silica gel, hexane:ethyl acetate, 4:1) (14.3 g). 1H NMR (CDCl3, 300 MHz) 3.89 (2H, br), 6.56 (1H, m), 7.02 (1H, m) ppm.
