Reaction Steps

4-methyl-3-nitro-benzoyl chloride (1.0 g, 5.0 mmol) was dissolved in DCM, and the solution was cooled to 0EC. Ethyl amine (2.0M in THF, 5.0 mL, 10 mmol) was added dropwise to the acid chloride, and the reaction stirred at 0EC for 5 min. The ice bath was removed and reaction continued to stir for 3. The solution was washed with brine, dried (Na2SO4), and concentrated in vacuo. The resulting aniline (0.75 g) was used without further purification.
