The mixture was heated at reflux for 3 h. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure to give a residue, which was poured into ice water. The aqueous phase was basified with sat. NaHCO3 to pH 7. The solid was filtered off and the filtrate was extracted with dichloromethane (200 mL×3). The combined organics were dried over anhydrous Na2SO4 and evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by column chromatography (petroleum ether/EtOAc=10/1) to afford 5-bromo-2-fluoro-4-methylaniline (5.0 g, 30% yield for two steps). 1NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 6.96 (d, J=8.8 Hz, 1H), 6.86 (d, J=11.6 Hz, 1H), 3.64 (br, 2H), 2.26 (s, 3H).
