Participants

Reaction Steps

To the solution of 2-bromo-3-fluoronitrobenzene (100 mg, 0.46 mmol) in ethanol (5 ml), Tin (II) chloride (520 mg, 2.3 mmol) was added. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 16 hours. The NaHCO3 (aq) was added to pH=7. Then was extracted with ethyl acetate (3x). The combined organic layer was dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure to give desired product (80 mg, 93%). EI-MS m/z 191 (M+).
