The reaction was cooled to ambient temperature, distilled off methanol under reduce pressure and adjusted pH to 2 with conc. HCl. Extracted with EtOAc and the organic layers were washed with water, brine and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, concentrated to get (2-bromo-4-nitrophenyl)acetic acid. 1H-NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ ppm 8.39 (s, 1H), 8.07˜8.11 (m, 1H), 7.43 (d, J=8.3 Hz, 1H), 3.88 (s, 2H).
