Participants

Reaction Steps

2-Fluoro-4-nitroaniline (5 g, 32.0 mmol) was added to a solution of 3-bromoprop-1-ene (41.5 mL, 480 mmol) and tert-butyl nitrite (5.76 mL, 48.0 mmol) in 32 mL of degassed anhydrous CH3CN at 18-19° C. under nitrogen. At the end of the addition of the arylamine, another half-equivalent of tert-butyl nitrite (1.180 mL, 16.01 mmol) was added; the reaction was stirred at room temperature for 1 hr. The reaction was concentrated under reduced pressure to remove the volatile material. The residue was purified by silica gel flash chromatography, 100% Heptane-5% Ethyl Acetate/95% Heptane, to give 1-allyl-2-fluoro-4-nitrobenzene (2.98 g). 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 3.51 (dd, J=6.4, 1.1 Hz, 2H), 5.05-5.16 (m, 2H), 5.96 (ddt, J=16.8, 10.2, 6.6, 6.6 Hz, 1H), 7.56-7.62 (m, 1H), 8.03-8.11 (m, 2H).
