The mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 30 min then 3-chloro-4-fluoronitrobenzene (251 mg, 1.4 mmol) was added in one portion (reaction turned dark color). The mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 10 min then the ice-bath removed, the reaction was allowed to warm to room temperature (10 min) and stirred for 1 hr. The solvent was removed under vacuum and the residue partitioned between EtOAc (50 mL) and H2O (50 mL). The aqueous layer was extracted with EtOAc (2×50 mL) and the combined organic layers dried (Na2SO4), filtered and the solvent removed under vacuum to leave the product as an oil (yield assumed quantitative=475 mg). The product was used in the next step without further purification.
