Stannous Chloride → 4-Chloro-3,5-difluorobenzene-1,2-diamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 348 mg (1.67 mmol) of 3-chloro-2,4-difluoro-6-nitroaniline and 1.57 g (8.28 mmol) of SnCl2 in 8 mL of ethanol was heated at 70° C. for 2 h. The solution was evaporated to remove the ethanol. The residue was treated with 2N NaOH to pH=13. White precipitate was observed. The mixture was extracted with CHCl3 (3×10 mL). The extract was dried (MgSO4) and evaporated to leave a red solid (285 mg, 95%); mp 77°-78° C.; 1H NMR (CDCl3), 3.156 (b, 2), 3.704 (b, 2), 6.352 (dd, 1, J=1.86, 9.95).
