Methylamine → 2-fluoro-N-methyl-4-nitroaniline

Participants

Reaction Steps

To 3,4-difluoro-nitrobenzene (13, 5.0 g, 31.4 mmol) taken in dimethyl sulfoxie (30 mL) was added 40% aqueous methylamine in portions. The reaction was stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes. The reaction was diluted with 150 mL of water and the resulting precipitate was filtered and dried under vacuum to obtain solid (5.34 g) in 98% isolated yield.
