Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-fluoro-nitrobenzene (2.8 g, 20 mmol) and N,N-dimethylethylenediamine (3.3 mL, 30 mmol) in isopropanol is heated at 90°-100° C. for 16 h, cooled to 0° C. and filtered. The filtercake is washed with cold isopropanol and air-dried to give the title compound as an orange solid, 3.83 g (92% yield), identified by HPLC and mass spectral analyses.
