Ammonium Chloride → HCID 62534008, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

(2,3-Difluoro-6-nitro-phenyl)-phenylamine (4.2 g, 16.9 mmol), iron powder (3.8 g, 67.6 mmol), and ammonium chloride (5.2 g, 101.4 mmol) in methanol (60 mL) and water (15 mL) were heated at 90° C. for 3 h. The reaction mixture was filtered and the filtrate concentrated in vacuo. The residue was dissolved in water and extracted with EtOAc (3×40 mL). The combined organic extracts were washed with brine, dried (MgSO4) and concentrated in vacuo to yield the title compound as a red solid (3.7 g, 100%). 1H NMR 400 MHz δ (CDCl3): 7.25-7.16 (2H, m), 6.94-6.82 (2H, m), 6.70-6.64 (2H, m), 6.47 (1H, ddd, J=12.0, 6.1, 3.0 Hz), 5.23 (1H, br s), 3.71 (2H, br s).
