The solution was diluted with Et2O and washed with 0.5M aqueous HCl, 1M sodium bicarbonate solution and brine. The organic phase was dried over MgSO4 and the solvent removed in vacuo to afford 4-bromo-2,6-difluorobenzaldehyde (0.166 g, 0.75 mmol, 84%) as a white solid. 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ 7.22 (2H, d), 10.29 (1H, br. s). LCMS (2) Rt: 2.74 min.
