Participants

Reaction Steps

2,6-Dichloroaniline (2.84 g, 17.5 mmol) was dissolved in DMSO (5 mL) and 60% NaH (0.60 g, 15 mmol) was added. The mixture was stirred 30 min and then 2-chloro-5-nitrobenzonitrile (0.91 g, 5.0 mmol) in DMSO (5 mL) was added. The reaction darkened and warmed to 50°. After cooling to 23° the reaction was diluted with EtOAc (200 mL) and washed with H2O (3×), satd. aq. NaCl, and dried (Na2SO4), and concentrated to afford 1.45 g (94%) of the title compound as an ivory colored powder. 1H NMR (400) MHz. δ: 8.49 (finely split doublet, 1), 8.20 (dd, 1), 7.51 (d,2), 7.34 (d, 2), 6.41 (d, 1).
