Cyclopropylamine → N-cyclopropyl-2-fluoro-6-nitroaniline

Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-bromo-1-fluoro-3-nitrobenzene (2.0 g, 9.1 mmol), cyclopropanamine (1.26 mL, 18.2 mmol) in THF (10 mL) under N2 was heated at 60° C. for 4 days. The reaction mixture was diluted with EtOAc, washed with water and brine, dried over MgSO4, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by column chromatography on a silica gel column using hexane-EtOAc (8.5:1.5) as eluent to give N-cyclopropyl-2-fluoro-6-nitroaniline.
