Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

3-Fluoronitrobenzene (10 g, 71 mmol) was added to a solution of morpholine (34 ml, 390 mmol) in dimethylsulfoxide (120 ml) and heated at 110° C. for 60 hours. The reaction was cooled and poured onto water (800 ml). The desired product precipitated and was collected by filtration. The orange solid was dried in vacuo and used in subsequent reactions without further purification (13.7 g, 66 mmol).
