4-Chloro-1-fluoro-2-nitrobenzene → HCID 22405277, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4-chloro-1-fluoro-2-nitrobenzene (10.0 g, 57.0 mmol), ethyl 3-aminopropanoate hydrochloride (8.75 g, 57.0 mmol) and N-ethyl-N-isopropylpropan-2-amine (36.0 g, 0.285 mol) in tetrahydrofuran (150 mL) was stirred at room temperature for 16 hours. The reaction mixture was then diluted with water and then extracted with EtOAc (200 mL×3). The combined organic layers were washed with water (200 mL×3), and then dried over Na2SO4, then filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by flash chromatography (EtOAc:PE=1:2) to afford ethyl 3-[(4-chloro-2-nitrophenyl)amino]propanoate (10.0 g, yield: 64.5%).
