2-Fluoro-n-(2-nitrophenyl)aniline → N1-(2-Fluorophenyl)benzene-1,2-diamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

2-fluoro-N-(2-nitrophenyl)aniline (1.4 g, 6.0 mmol) was dissolved in ethyl acetate (20 mL) and 10% palladium on activated carbon (150 mg) was added. The mixture was shaken under a hydrogen atmosphere (40 psi) for 2 hours. The mixture was filtered through a pad of Celite and concentrated to give N-(2-fluorophenyl)benzene-1,2-diamine (1.2 g) that was carried on directly to the next step.
