Stannous chloride dihydrate → (3-Fluoro-4-methoxyphenyl)hydrazine--hydrogen chloride (1/1)

Participants

Reaction Steps

A suspension of 3-fluoro-4-methoxyaniline (1.5871 g, 11.24 mmol) in hydrochloric acid, 37% (14 ml) was diazotized with sodium nitrite (0.776 g, 11.24 mmol) in water (7 mL) and reduced with tin(ii) chloride dihydrate (1.873 mL, 22.49 mmol) in hydrochloric acid, 37% (5 ml) at 0° C. The reaction was then stirred for 20 min at room temperature. The precipitate was collected by filtration. The cake was triturated with ethanol (50 mL, room temp) followed by filtration to give a pale yellow solid as the titled compound. 1H NMR (DMSO-d6, 500 MHz) δ 10.17 (br s, 2H), 8.12 (br s, 1H), 7.10 (dd, J=9.0, 9.0 Hz, 1H), 6.96 (dd, J=13.0, 2.5 Hz, 1H), 6.80-6.76 (m, 1H) 3.76 (s, 3H), 3.42 (br s, 1H).
