H2SO4 was portionwise added sodium nitrite (1.38 mmol). After complete dissolution, a solution of 3-amino-2,6-dichlorobenzonitrile (1.24 mmol) in 2.5 mL glacial acetic acid was added at 0° C. After 30 min at 0° C., a precooled solution of CuBr (2.76 mmol) in 0.5 mL HBr (48% in H2O) was slowly added. The reaction was stirred at 0° C. for 45 min and then at RT for 45 min. The mixture was quenched with water and extracted with EtOAc (3×). The combined organic layers were washed with brine, dried over MgSO4 and concentrated in vacuo to give the desired product as brown solid.
