2,4-Difluoronitrobenzene → HCID 58421530, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To 2,4-Difluoronitrobenzene (0.549 ml) and cis-1,2-cyclohexanediol (0.581 g) in THF (10.0 ml), cooled with an ice-bath, was added lithium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide (1 mol/1 solution in THF; 5.00 ml). The mixture was stirred overnight at rt, and then evaporated to dryness. The residue was taken up in ethyl acetate, extracted once with hydrochloric acid (1 mol/l) and twice with NaOH solution (1 mol/l), dried with magnesium sulphate, filtered and evaporated to dryness. The residue was purified by column chromatography (silica; methylene chloride/methanol 100:0=>97:3) to yield a yellowish oil.
