Reaction Steps

To 1,4-dibromo-2,5-difluorobenzene (10.28 g, 37.81 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (80 mL) at −40° C. was isopropylmagnesium chloride lithium chloride complex (29.1 mL, 37.81 mmol) added dropwise. After 1 h at −40° C. was N,N-dimethylformamide (58 mL, 756 mmol) added and the mixture was stirred for 30 minutes at −40° C. NH4Cl (2M, aq, 100 mL) was added and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic phase was dried with MgSO4 and concentrated to give 4-bromo-2,5-difluorobenzaldehyde (6.20 g, 74%) as a solid.
