Benzylamine → HCID 10800431, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 23.9 g (16.9 mL, 0.15 mol) of 3,4-difluoronitrobenzene and 29.1 g (39.2 mL, 0.23 mol) of N, N-diisopropylethylamine in 285 mL acetonitrile was treated with 19.3 g (19.7 mL, 0.18 mol) of benzylamine, followed by warming at reflux for 5 h. The mixture was concentrated in vacuo and the residue was dissolved in 200 mL ethyl acetate, followed by extraction with water (3×50 mL). Drying (Na2SO4) and concentration in vacuo afforded a yellow solid, which was recrystallized from hot ethyl acetate-hexane to afford 32.25 g (87%) of the title compound as yellow-orange needles, mp 97.5-99° C.
