Procedure

A mixture of tert-butyl nitrite (1.78 mL, 15.0 mmol), copper (II) chloride (1.61 g, 12.0 mmol) and 4-bromo-2-(trifluoromethoxy)aniline (2.56 g, 10.0 mmol) in acetonitrile (40 mL) was heated to 70° C., stirred for 3 hours, cooled to room temperature, poured into 0.5M HCl, and extracted with diethyl ether. The combined extracts were washed with water and brine, dried (MgSO4), filtered, and concentrated to provide the desired product. MS (ESI(+)) m/e 275 (M+H)+.
