Reaktionsschritte

A solution of sodium nitrite (180 mg, 2.60 mmol) in water (0.5 mL) was added dropwise to a solution of 3-methoxy-2-nitro-phenylamine (400 mg, 2.38 mmol, Example 86(A)) in HCl (37%, 3.9 mL) at 0° C. over one hour period. Then the reaction mixture was added to a cold (0° C.) solution of CuCl2 (640 mg, 4.76 mmol) in HCl (6 N, 3.5 mL). The resulting green solution was stirred at room temperature for 2 days. Then, the reaction mixture was poured onto ice and neutralized carefully with a saturated solution of NaHCO3. The aqueous phase was extracted with AcOEt. The resulting organic phase was washed with brine, dried over MgSO4, filtered and evaporated to yield 293 mg (1.56 mmol, 66%) of 1-chloro-3-methoxy-2-nitrobenzene as a brown oil.
