Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1,2,3-trifluoro-4-methoxybenzene (1.6 g, 10 mmol) in acetic acid (20 mL) was added nitric acid (5 mL) and the mixture was heated at 60° C. for 3 hours. After cooling to ambient temperature, water (100 mL) was added and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate (3×100 mL). The organic layers were concentrated to give the crude title compound, which was used in the next step without further purification.
