Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To 3.7 mL of 2-fluoro-nitrobenzene are added 8.73 g of 4-methoxyaniline (2 equivalents). The whole is heated to 110° C. overnight. The medium is taken up in ethyl acetate, successively washed with water, a saturated solution of sodium bicarbonate and then with a saturated solution of sodium chloride. The organic phase is dried on magnesium sulfate, filtered and then concentrated under reduced pressure. With silica gel chromatography of the residue (petroleum ether/ethyl acetate: 90/10) 8.63 g of the desired product are isolated.
