Water → N-(2-(dimethylamino)ethyl)-2-nitrobenzenamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 2-fluoronitrobenzene (2.0 g, 14 mmol) and sodium bicarbonate (5.9 g, 71 mmol) in 30 mL THF under nitrogen was added N1, N1-dimethylethane-1,2-diamine (1.7 mL, 16 mmol). The reaction was allowed to stir at ambient temperature for 3 h, and then a water-cooled reflux condenser was added and the mixture was heated to 70° C. for 16 h. The reaction was cooled to ambient temperature, filtered through paper, and concentrated in vacuo to give N-(2-(dimethylamino)ethyl)-2-nitrobenzenamine as a yellow oil. This material was used without further purification.
