Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-fluoronitrobenzene (0.5 mL, 4.7 mmol) in DMSO (10 mL) is added isopropylamine (0.6 mL, 7.1 mmol), followed by Hunig's base (1.2 mL, 7.1 mmol). The reaction flask is sealed and heated to 80° C. overnight. The reaction is then cooled to room temperature and poured over ice H2O and extracted ethyl acetate. The organic layer is washed with H2O, brine, dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated to afford the title compound (828 mg, 97%) as an orange oil.
