Sodium hydride → 6-Fluoro-2-(2-nitroanilino)benzo[b]thiophene-3-carbonitrile

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-amino-6-fluorobenzo[b]thiophene-3-carbonitrile (15 g), tetrahydrofuran (140 ml) and 2-fluoronitrobenzene (11.3 g) was added portionwise 60% sodium hydride (3.5 g) under ice-cooling and the mixture was stood still at 5° C. for 30 minutes. The precipitated crystals were filtered by suction, washed with isopropyl ether (120 ml) and dried to give 6-fluoro-2-(2-nitroanilino)benzo[b]thiophene-3-carbonitrile (8.0 g).
