Procedure

To a solution of 4-nitro-phenylamine (50 g, 0.36 mol) in AcOH (500 mL) was added Br2 (60 g, 0.38 mol) dropwise at 5° C. The mixture was stirred for 30 min at that temperature. The insoluble solid was collected by filtration and basified with saturated aqueous NaHCO3 to pH 7. The aqueous phase was extracted with EtOAc (300 mL×3). The combined organic layers were dried and evaporated under reduced pressure to obtain compound 2-bromo-4-nitroaniline (56 g, 72%), which was directly used in the next step.
