Reaction Steps

Mix 4-fluoro-2-bromo-6-nitroaniline (15.5g, 66.0mmol) and 50% sulfuric acid (200mL) and cool to 0°-5° C. Add, by dropwise addition, a solution of sodium nitrite (6.0g, 86.4mmol ) in water (50mL) Stir for 30 minutes and add solid potassium iodide (29g, 173mmol). Take up the product in ethyl acetate (300mL) wash with saturated sodium hydrogen carbonate (2×200mL), saturated sodium metabisulfite (2×200mL) and water (200mL). Dry (MgSO4), evaporate the solvent in vacuo and purify by silica gel chromatography to give 1-iodo-2-nitro-4-fluoro-6-bromobenzene as a yellow crystalline solid (17.81g, 76%); mp 75°-76° C.
