After 3 h at −78° C., 50 mL water was added followed by 50 mL of 1N HCl. The reaction was allowed to warm to 25° C. and stirred for 1 h. The reaction was diluted with water and extracted with diethyl ether. The ether was dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated to provide crude 4,5-dichloro-2-fluoro-benzaldehyde that was taken directly into the next step without further purification.
