Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Fuming nitric acid (20 mL) was added dropwise to concentrated sulfuric acid (40 ml) under cooling (−10° C.), and subsequently, 1-fluoro-3-(trifluoromethoxy)benzene (15 g, 83 mmol) was added to the mixture at −10° C., and the mixture was stirred for 0.5 hours. After the mixture was added into ice-water to stop the reaction, it was extracted with dichloromethane. After the obtained organic layer was washed with a 1N aqueous sodium hydroxide solution and water, it was dried with anhydrous sodium sulfate. After filtration, the solution was concentrated and the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (100:0-97:3, hexane:ethyl acetate) to give the title compound (3.1 g, 16%) as an oil.
