Procedure
To a mixture of 5.0 g of 4-chloro-3-trifluoromethylphenol and 20 ml of acetic acid, 1.5 ml of concentrated sulfuric acid and then 2.6 g of 69% nitric acid were added dropwise while ice-cooling. To the reaction mixture, 3 ml of concentrated sulfuric acid was added dropwise at room temperature, and stirred for three hours. The reaction mixture was poured into ice water, and extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic layers were washed with water, a saturated aqueous solution of sodium hydrogencarbonate and a saturated sodium chloride solution, dried over magnesium sulfate, and then concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was subjected to silica gel column chromatography to give 2.3 g of 4-chloro-2-nitro-5-trifluoromethylphenol, 1.57 g of 4-chloro-2-nitro-3-trifluoromethylphenol.
