Reaction Steps

2-Fluoro-4-aminobenzonitrile (11.8 g) and 1-bromohexadecane (15.3 g) are dissolved in hexamethylphosphoramide (200 ml.) and heated under an atmosphere of nitrogen in an oil bath maintained at 120° C. for 22 hours. The reaction mixture is cooled to room temperature and water is added gradually. The mixture is then chilled in an ice-bath and filtered. The solid is washed thoroughly with water and dried. The solid is recrystallized from ether-hexane to yield 2-fluoro-4-(hexadecylamino)benzonitrile as a pale yellow solid.
