Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

4-Fluoronitrobenzene (3.0 g, 21.3 mmol) was dissolved in toluene (25 mL). Thiomorpholine (2.4 mL, 23.4 mmol) was added and the mixture stirred overnight at 100° C. At 17 h, the mixture was distributed between ethyl acetate (100 mL) and saturated sodium bicarbonate (50 mL). The organic layer was separated, dried (Na2SO4), filtered and concentrated under vacuum. The residue was triturated with hexane to yield a bright yellow solid.
