Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-bromo-4-chloro-6-fluoro-benzaldehyde (15 g, 63.16 mmol) in 2-propanol (130 ml) was added hydroxyl amine hydrate (50% solution in water, 4.55 g, 68.90 mmol) at 25° C. and the mixture was warmed to 40° C. for 2 h. Water (55 ml) was then added slowly to this mixture and the slurry was aged for 1 h at 20° C. The reaction mixture was filtered and the remaining solid was washed with a mixture of 2-propanol and water (1.5:1) and dried under vacuum to yield the title compound as white solid (12.5 g, 77%).
