Water → 5-bromo-2-nitro-N-propylbenzenamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-bromo-2-fluoro-1-nitrobenzene (0.5 g, 2.29 mmol) and diisopropyl ethyl amine (1.38 mL, 3.44 mmol) in NMP (5 mL) was added propylamine (0.22 mL, 2.7 mmol). The solution was stirred for 14 h to which was slowly added H2O (5 mL). The resulting yellow precipitate was filtered, washed with 2 mL of water, subjected to high vacuum for drying for 14 h to furnish 5-bromo-2-nitro-N-propylbenzenamine (520 mg, 2.18 mmol), 92% yield, which was used without further purification.
