Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 10 g of 4-bromo-3-fluoroaniline (52 mmol) in 300 ml acetone were added successively 150 ml of a saturated sodium bicarbonate solution and at 0° C. 9 ml of benzyl chloroformate (63 mmol). The reaction was monitored by TLC. The acetone was evaporated, the residue extracted twice with ethyl acetate, washed with water and brine, dried and evaporated.
