Procedure

To a 500 mL flask was added 4-fluoro-2-methoxybenzonitrile (9.00 g, 59.5 mmol), NBS (12.7 g, 71.5 mmol) and TFA (40 mL); the resulting mixture was stirred for 4 h at 65° C. Analysis of the reaction by LC indicated completion of the reaction. The reaction mixture was concentrated to dryness, treated with EtOAc (200 mL) and washed with brine and water, dried (Na2SO4), filtered and concentrated to dryness. The resulting organic residue was purified by MPLC with the solvent systems of hexanes/EtOAc=1/1 to furnish the desired product: LC/MS: [(M+2)]+=232;
