Participants

Reaction Steps

1-fluoro-4-(1-methoxyethyl)-2-nitrobenzene (664 g, 3.33 mmol) was stirred in THF (10 ml). NH4OH (0.39 ml, 10.0 mmol) was added and the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours. Further 780 ul of NH4OH was added and the reaction mixture was heated at 120° C. for 10 minutes using microwave (Biotage Initiator) and then at 140° C. for 50 minutes. After cooling to room temperature, the reaction mixture was poured into EtOAc/water. The organic layer was washed with brine, dried over MgSO4 and evaporated. The resulting material was purified by flash chromatography on silica eluting with 0% to 50% EtOAc/Hexane to afford the title compound (290 mg, yield: 44%). 1H-NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 1.42 (d, 3H) 3.22 (s, 3H) 4.24 (q, 1H) 6.05 (br. s., 2H) 6.83 (d, 1H) 7.38 (dd, 2.01 Hz, 1H) 8.04 (d, 1H)
