Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-fluoro-4-iodoaniline (1.0 g, 4.21 mmol) in THF (20 mL) was dropwise added LHMDS solution (5.1 mL, 5.1 mmol, 1 M in THF) at −78° C. After stirring at −78° C. for 30 min, a solution of 2,3,4,6-tetrafluoronitrobenzene (0.823 g, 4.21 mmol) in THF (5 mL) was added drop wise into the reaction mixture, which was slowly warmed to room temperature and stirred for 16 h. After completion (as indicated by TLC), the reaction mixture was quenched with water and extracted with ether. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous Na2SO4 and concentrated. The crude residue was triturated with hexane to yield 2,3,5-trifluoro-N-(2-fluoro-4-iodophenyl)-6-nitrobenzenamine (0.748 g). 1H-NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): δ 6.71-6.76 (2H, m), 7.40 (1H, d, J=8.8), 7.46 (1H, d, J=10), 7.69 (1H, s).
