Reaction Steps

A mixture of 13.3 g of 4-chloro-2-fluoro-5-difluoromethoxyaniline XIII-1 and 106 ml of hydrochloric acid was stirred at 0° C. A solution of 4.76 g of sodium nitrite in 35.4 ml of water was dropwise added in 10 minutes to the mixture, which was stirred at 0° to 5° C. for an hour. A solution of 35.4 g of stannous chloride dihydrate in 35.4 ml of hydrochloric acid was dropwise added in 15 minutes to the mixture, which was stirred at 0° to 5° C. for 2 hours. The reaction mixture was basified with 10% aqueous sodium hydroxide and shaken with chloroform. The chloroform layer was dried and concentrated, and 12.7 g of the titled compound XIV-1 thus obtained was used for the subsequent reaction without purification.
