Hydrochloric Acid → 1-(4-Nitrophenyl)azetidine

Participants

Reaction Steps

1-Fluoro-4-nitrobenzene (5.0 g, 35.5 mmol) was added to a suspension of azetidine.HCl (3.98 g, 42.55 mmol) and K2CO3 (7.34 g, 53.19 mmol) in EtOH (100 mL) at r.t., and the reaction was stirred at 40° C. overnight. The reaction mixture was filtered and concentrated. The residue was purified by silica gel chromatography (PE:EtOAc=10:1) to give compound 700 mg (11%) of the title compound as a yellow solid. [M+H] Calc'd for C9H10N2O2, 180. Found, 180.
