High-Pressure Synthesis of Oligoanilines

Abstract

Aniline oligomers can be prepared cleanly and in high yield by the high-pressure promoted S_NAr reaction of aromatic amines with fluoronitrobenzenes followed by reduction of the nitro group.

high-pressure - aromatic nucleophilic substitution - aniline oligomers
