4-Ethylaniline (242.36 g; 2.00 mol) is dissolved in dry tetrahydrofuran (900 ml). A solution of n-BuLi (2.5 M in hexanes, 800 ml; 2.00 mol) is added under N2 with cooling maintaining the reaction temperature below 15°. After stirring for 1 hour at 10°, neat pentafluorobenzene (168.06 g; 1.00 mol) is added with cooling to the mixture, keeping the temperature at 10-20°. The reaction is stirred at ambient temperature for 1.5 hours, then aqueous HCl (6 N; 500 ml) is added slowly with vigorous stirring and cooling, keeping the reaction temperature below 35°. The quenched reaction is stirred at ambient temperature for 0.5-18 hours. The aqueous layer is separated, and the organic phase is concentrated under reduced pressure (30-150 mm) to one-fourth volume. The concentrate is diluted with heptane (300 ml) and extracted with water (300 ml). The separated top organic layer is stirred over 230-400 mesh silica gel (50 g) and filtered. The filter cake is washed with heptane (4×50 ml). The combined filtrate and washings are concentrated under reduced pressure (20-30 mm) to give solid crude product. This material is recrystallized from hot heptane (200 ml) and collected at 0°. This solid is washed with cold heptane (100 ml) and dried under reduced pressure at 40° to give pure N-(2′,3′,5′,6′-tetrafluorophenyl)-4-ethylaniline.
