Procedure

6M Aqueous hydrochloric acid (200 mL) was added to a stirred solution of dimethyl 2-(4-bromo-2-nitrophenyl)malonate (preparation 1a, 55.45 g, 170 mmol) in dimethylsulphoxide (250 mL) at room temperature and then mixture was warmed to 130° C. with stirring. After 5 hours, the mixture was cooled and water (400 mL) was added with stirring and the mixture was left to cool overnight. The precipitate was filtered, washed with water and dried in vacuo to give the title compound (41.0 g, 94%) as a white solid.
