Procedure

To a solution of 3-fluoro-2-methylaniline (20 g, 0.16 mol) in CH3CN (500 mL) was added NBS (31.3 g, 0.176 mol) in portions at 10° C. The resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes. Upon completion, saturated Na2S2O3 (500 mL) was added slowly into the reaction mixture at 10° C. The organic layer was separated, and the aqueous layer was extracted with EtOAc. The combined organic layers were dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was washed with petroleum ether affording the title compound (20 g), which was used in the next step without further purification. 1H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO-d6): δ 7.08 (t, 1H), 6.40 (dd, 1H), 5.35 (br, 2H), 1.98 (d, 3H).
