Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A round bottom flask was charged with 2-bromo-4-methoxy-1-nitrobenzene (2.0 g, 8.6 mmol) and ethanolamine (8.1 mL, 135 mmol). The resulting reaction mixture was stirred at 50° C. for 4 h and at rt for 48 h, then water (32.0 mL) was added and the resulting precipitate was filtered off and rinsed with water to yield 2-((5-methoxy-2-nitrophenyl)amino)ethanol as a yellow solid LC-MS conditions B: tR=0.56 min, [M+H]+=213.13.
