Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Concentrated nitric acid (2.6 ml) was cautiously added to a solution of 2,4-bis(trifluoromethyl)bromobenzene (16 g) in concentrated sulphuric acid (48 ml), and the mixture was heated to 80° C. for 6 hours. After cooling to ambient temperature and allowing to stand overnight, the reaction mixture was cautiously poured onto ice, and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic extracts were washed with water and brine and dried over magnesium sulphate. Evaporation of the solvent, under reduced pressure, gave 6-nitro-2,4-bis(trifluoromethyl) bromobenzene as a yellow liquid.
