Procedure

Concentrated sulfuric acid (200 mL) and acetic acid (120) mL are mixed at 0° C. To this solution is added 15 g (0.082 mol) of 4-fluoro-3-nitroacetophenone with stirring. To the cold reaction mixture is added 36 mL of 36% peracetic acid. The reaction mixture is then stirred at room temperature for 4 hours. Water (500 mL) is added to the mixture, and the crude product is extracted into diethyl ether. The combined ether fractions are washed with water, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue is purified using column chromatography on silica gel, eluting with 3% methanol/chloroform, giving 3.2 g of Compound 23 (20% yield). mp: 86-87° C. 1H-NMR (CDCl3) 7.56 (dd, 1H); 7.29 (t, 1H), 7.12 (m, 1H); 5.36 (s, 1H). 19F-NMR (d6 -DMSO) 147.60 (s). Anal. calc. for C6H4FNO3 : C, 45.87; H, 2.57; N, 8.92. Found: C, 45.80; H. 2.51; N, 8.69.
