Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

1.55 g (0.01 mol) of 2-fluoro-5-nitrotoluene, 2.65 g (0.025 mol) of sodium carbonate, 2.11 g (0.011 mol) of 2-(trifluoroacetamido)ethylamine hydrochloride and 10 ml of N-methyl-pyrrolidone were introduced into a three-necked flask under nitrogen. The mixture was heated to 90° C. After reaction for 48 hours, the reaction mixture was cooled and 30 ml of distilled water were then added slowly with vigorous stirring. A yellow precipitate appeared. This precipitate was filtered off, washed several times with water and then with pentane, and dried under vacuum. 1.9 g of expected nitro derivative (1) were obtained in the form of a yellow powder.
