Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a 250 mL flask charged with 5-bromo-2-(2,3-difluoro-4-iodophenoxy)benzoic acid (9.1 g, 20.0 mmol) was added sulfuric acid (21.32 mL, 400 mmol). The resulting slurry was heated at 100° C. for 2.5 h. The mixture was cooled to rt and poured into 1 L of ice water. The resulting tan slurry was stirred vigorously for 3 hours. The mixture was filtered through a Buchner funnel and the derived solid was dried under a stream of air for 6 hours to provide 7-bromo-3,4-difluoro-2-iodo-9H-xanthen-9-one (8.10 g, 18.54 mmol, 93% yield) as a tan solid.
