Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Bromine (1.55 mL, 30.1 mmol) was added dropwise to a solution of 1-fluoro-3-methoxy-2-nitrobenzene (1.29 g, 7.53 mmol) in acetic acid (15.1 mL). The reaction mixture was warmed to 55° C. and stirred at 55° C. for 17 h, after which time the reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo to give a crude solid. The crude solid was diluted with saturated sodium bicarbonate solution and extracted with ethyl acetate. Layers were separated and the organic layer was washed with saturated sodium bicarbonate solution, dried with sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo to give the desired product (1.87 g, 99%) as a yellow solid that was used in further step without purification.
