Procedure

A mixture of N-Methyl-2-fluoro-4-nitrobenzamide (Formula 38) (0.18 g, 0.91 mmol) and iron (0.31 g, 5.60 mmol) in ethyl acetate (5 mL) and acetic acid (5 mL) was refluxed for 1 h. The solid particles were filtered off. The filtrate was washed with water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was dried over MgSO4, concentrated and the residue was purified with SiO2 column chromatography (dichloromethane:acetone, 95:5) to give N-Methyl-2-fluoro-4-aminobenzamide (Formula 39) (0.14 g, 92%) as an off-white solid. 1H NMR (acetone-d6) δ 2.86 (d, 3H, J=4.3), 5.50 (br s, 2H), 6.37 (dd, 1H, J=14.7 and 2.1), 6.50 (dd, 1H, J=8.6 and 2.1), 7.06 (br s, 1H), 7.68 (dd, 1H, J=8.8 and 8.8).
