Hydrochloric Acid → 5-Bromo-2-chloro-4-fluorobenzoic acid

Temperature

0 °C

To a solution of 2-amino-5-bromo-4-fluorobenzoic acid (14.5 g, 62.2 mmol) in concentrated hydrochloric acid (30 mL) at 0° C. was added dropwise a solution of sodium nitrate (4.72 g, 68.4 mmol) in water (15 mL). The mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 2 hours, then diluted with 1,4-dioxane (40 mL) and added dropwise to a solution of copper chloride (7.4 g, 74.4 mmol) in concentrated hydrochloric acid (25 mL) under mechanical stirring while the reaction temperature was kept below 7° C. (ice-salt bath). After the addition was complete, the mixture was stirred at 0° C. for another 1 hour. Water was added, and the precipitate was filtered. The filter cake was washed with water and dissolved in ethyl acetate. The filtrate was extracted with ethyl acetate once and washed with water and then with brine. The combined organic layers were dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated to give the crude product 28 (14.5 g, 92%), which was used for the next step without further purification. MS ESI (m/z): 251 (M−H)−.
