Participants

Reaction Steps

Heat a solution of 5-cyclopropyl-2-(5-fluoro-2-nitro-phenylamino)-benzonitrile (0.447 g, 1.50 mmol) in ethanol (7 ml) to 60° C. Add a solution of tin (II) chloride (0.855 g, 4.51 mmol) in 5.0 N hydrochloric acid (7 ml) and heat the resulting mixture to reflux for 16 hours. Cool the reaction to room temperature, add 25 ml of 5.0 N hydrochloric acid and place the mixture in a freezer for 16 hours. Collect by filtration the precipitated product from the solution. Wash solid with 5.0 N hydrochloric acid to obtain 0.277 g of the title compound (0.91 mmol, 61% yield) as a yellow amorphous solid: Mass Spectrum (m/e): 268(M+1).
