1-Chloro-4-nitrobenzene → 4-nitro-N-(tetrahydrofuran-2-ylmethyl)aniline

Participants

Reaction Steps

0.3 mol (46.2 g) of para-chloronitrobenzene and 1 mol (101 g) of tetrahydrofurfurylamine are heated for three hours in an oil bath at 150° C. The reaction medium is then poured into 500 ml of ice-cooled water. The expected product initially precipitates in the form of a thick oil which rapidly crystallises. After it has been filtered off, washed with water, recrystallised from ethanol and dried in vacuo, the product melts at 74° C.
