Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-fluoro-4-nitrobenzonitrile (6.3 g; 37.93 mmol) and 2-bromophenol (4.4 mL; 37.94 mmol) in DMF (50 mL) was added potassium carbonate (6.29 g; 45.51 mmol). The mixture was stirred for 5 h at rt. Water (100 mL) was added, and a precipitate formed. The solid was separated via filtration, washed with water, and dried to yield 11.20 g (92.5%) of 3-(2-bromo-phenoxy)-4-nitrobenzonitrile, 1a.
