Reaction Steps

3-Bromo-4-hydroxy-benzonitrile (495 mg, 2.5 mmol) is dissolved in H2SO4 98%, heat the solution at 80° C. for 1 hour. Cool the mixture at room temperature and pour it into ice-water. Extract the aqueous layer with EtOAc. Dry the organic layer over Na2SO4. Eliminate the solvent to obtain the title compound (450 mg, 83%). 1H-NMR (metanol-d4, 200 MHz): 8.04 (d, 1H, J=2.0 Hz), 7.70 (dd, 1H, J=2.0 and 8.4 Hz), 6.93 (d, 1H, J=8.6 Hz)
