Nitric Acid → 5-Bromo-2,4-dinitrobenzaldehyde

To ice cold conc. sulphuric acid (360 mL) was added fuming nitric acid (180 mL) dropwise followed by (ii) (60 g, 0.26 mol) dropwise over 15 min. The reaction mixture was stirred for 10 min and then allowed to warm to RT. After 30 min, the reaction mixture was heated at 45° C. for 2 h and then at 50° C. for 3 h and then allowed to cool to RT. The reaction mixture was then poured carefully over ice-water and the organics were extracted into chloroform (500 mL). The volatiles were dried (MgSO4) and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by flash column chromatography eluting with EtOAc:n-hexane (gradient elution from 5% to 30% v/v) to give (iii) (5.1 g, 7%).
