Procedure

2-Amino-4-fluorophenol (1.21 g, 9.52 mmol) and potassium hydroxide (0.64 g, 11.4 mmol) were dissolved in carbon disulfide (15 mL) and EtOH (25 mL), and the reaction mixture was heated to reflux overnight. Upon cooling to rt, the reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting solid was suspended in 1 M aqueous HCl and collected by filtration. This was washed with 1 M aqueous HCl (2×) and water (2×) and was air-dried. This gave 1.115 g (69%) of the title compound as a yellow solid. LC-MS: RT=6.89 min., [M+H]+=169.9.
