Procedure

27 g of sodium nitrite was dissolved in 205 ml of sulfuric acid and cooled to 10° C. or less, and then 238 ml of acetic acid was added. At 20° to 25° C., 65 g of 2-fluoro-4-iodoaniline was added to the solution, and then the solution was agitated for one hour. A second solution was made by dissolving 83 g of copper sulfate pentahydrate in 20.5 ml of water, to which was added 140 g of ice, and this solution was added to the first. A third solution containing 88 g of potassium cyanide dissolved in 200 ml of water, 500 g of sodium bicarbonate, and 200 ml of benzene was added to the first solution, and a diazonium salt sulfuric acid solution was added therein. After agitation at room temperature for 3 hours, a sodium hydroxide aqueous solution was added to dissolve the crystals. After being extracted with chloroform, the crystals were washed three times alternating with a 10% sodium hydroxide solution and water. After distillation of the chloroform, the residue was extracted with hexane, and the hexane was distilled off. This residue was subjected to vacuum distillation (95° to 110° C./15 mmHg), and further recrystallized to obtain 20 g of 1-cyano-2-fluoro-4-iodobenzene.
