Procedure

To a solution of 3,4-difluoronitrobenzene (3.18 g, 20 mmol) in EtOAc (50 mL) were added Et3N (2.43 g, 24 mmol) and hexan-1-amine (2.02 g, 20 mmol). The reaction mixture was refluxed overnight, then cooled to rt and concentrated in vacuo to give the title compound as yellow oil (4.37 g, 91%).
