Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

25.4 g (152 mmol) of 2-fluoro-5-nitroacetophenone, 343 g (1.52 mol) of tin chloride dihydrate and 250 ml of ethyl acetate are introduced into a 1-liter three-necked flask. The reaction mixture is heated to 70° C. for 30 minutes and then poured onto 1 liter of crushed ice, 30% sodium hydroxide solution is added and the mixture is extracted with 3 times 350 ml of ethyl acetate.
