The reaction was quenched with saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate and the acetonitrile was removed in vacuo. The remaining aqueous component was extracted with ethyl acetate, washed with brine, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The pale brown oily solid was triturated with ether/hexanes, filtered and the filtrate concentrated to afford 2-(difluoromethoxy)-5-nitropyridine (4.7 g, 24.7 mmol, 49% yield) as a yellow oil. 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ ppm 9.14 (d, J=2.76 Hz, 1 H), 8.68 (dd, J=9.03, 2.76 Hz, 1 H), 7.98 (s, 0.5 H), 7.62 (s, 0.5 H), 7.34 (d, J=9.03 Hz, 1 H).
