Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A pressure bottle was charged with 1-chloro-2-methoxy-4-nitrobenzene (10.0 g mg, 53.3 mmol, purchased from TCI America) and morpholine (15 mL, 172.0 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at 120° C. for 15 hours and it was allowed to cool to room temperature by itself. The resulting solid was suspended in 20 mL of ethyl acetate, filtered, and washed with 20 mL of tert-butyl methyl ether. 8.8 g of yellow solid as the desired product AA was collected (69% yield). 1H-NMR (400 MHz, d6-DMSO): 7.83 (dd, 1H), 7.67 (d, 1H), 6.98 (d, 1H), 3.88 (s, 3H), 3.71 (m, 4H), 3.16 (m, 4H). MS (EI) CH11H14N2O4: 239 (M+H)+.
