Abstract
Substitution reactions of 1,2-difluoro-4,5-dinitrobenzene were explored in dimethylformamide alone and with KOH/H2O, Hünig?s base or Et3N and with Me2NHCl/Et3N in EtOH. The fluorine atoms were always displaced in preference to the nitro groups. Three compounds were prepared from these studies and were characterised by X-ray single crystal structure determinations.
