Participants

Reaction Steps

1-Bromo-2-(4-nitrophenyl)ethane (Aldrich, 10 g, 50 mmol) was stirred overnight at ambient temperature with a solution of ethylamine in ethanol (33%, 25 ml, ~180 mmol). The orange solution was evaporated to leave a crystalline residue. The solid material was collected with the aid of ethanol (10 ml). Concentration of the filtrate yielded a second batch of product, identical on t.l.c., which was combined with the first.
