Reaction Steps

Potassium fluoride (69.6 g; 1.2 mole) and undecyltributylammonium bromide (25.2 g; 0.06 mole) were added to molten 2-chloronitrobenzene (157.5 g; 1.0 mole). After stirring at 145° C. for 24 hours and a similar work-up to Example 1, 2-fluoronitrobenzene was obtained in 84.6% yield, together with 0.4% nitrobenzene.
