Procedure

3-nitroaniline (1.87 g, 13.51 mmol) and 3-(1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethoxy)-benzaldehyde (3 g, 13.5 mmol) were dissolved in 25 mL of dichloroethane and acetic acid (0.85 mL, 14.9 mmol), then solid NaBH(OAc)3 (3.73 g 17.6 mmol) was added. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 48 hours, then quenched with aqueous saturated sodium bicarbonate and diluted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was dried over MgSO4, and concentrated in vacuo. The crude product was purified by flash column chromatography on silica gel eluting with ethyl acetate:hexane 1:7 to give 3.25 g (70%) of the desired N-(3-nitrophenyl)-3-(1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethoxy) benzenemethan-amine product as a brown oil. HRMS calcd. for C15H13F4N2O3: 345.0862[M+H]+, found: 345.0864. 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ4.4 (s, 2H), 4.5 (s, 1H), 5.9 (tt, 1H), 6.9 (d, 1H), 7.1 (d, 1H), 7.2-7.3 (m, 3H), 7.4(m, 2H), 7.5 (d, 1H).
