53. Secondary N-alkyl-2-fluoroanilines were prepared by alkylation of 2-fluoroaniline; see ref 10b. Although in lower yield, amine 1a could also be prepared by treatment of the lithium amide of N-methyl-2-fluoroaniline with o-chloronitrobenzene in THF at reflux.

56. Treatment of N-(2-bromophenyl)-2-fluoroaniline with 4.3 equiv of t-BuLi only gave rise to deprotonation and bromine-lithium exchange. Subsequent cyclization was not observed.
