Reaction Steps

To a stirring solution of 2-bromo-5-nitrobenzoic acid (1 eq) in tetrahydrofuran (0.4 M) at 0° C. under nitrogen was added BH3/THF (1 M) (1.5 eq). The reaction mixture was stirred at 70° C. for 1 hr and quenched with methanol. The reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo to afford the product. EI-MS m/z 232 (M+H)+.
