Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

4-bromo-1-fluoro-2-nitrobenzene (2.0 g, 9.1 mmol) and potassium 1,3-dioxoisoindolin-2-ide (2.0 g, 10.9 mmol) were placed in microwave vial (0.5-2 ml) and NMP (12.0 ml) was added. The reaction mixture was heated at 200° C. using microwave (Biotage, Initiator) for 1 min. After cooling to rt, the reaction mixture was added dropwise to stirring water which resulted in formation of precipitate. The solid was collected, washed with water and dried under stream of nitrogen to afford the title compound (2.89 g, yield: 92%). 1H-NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.26 (s, 2H) 7.43 (d, 2H) 7.81-7.87 (m, 3H) 7.91 (dd, 2H) 7.95-8.05 (m, 3H) 8.33 (d, 1H)
