Procedure

To a suspension of 4-bromo-3-chloro-6-methoxyaniline (52) (5 g, 21.1 mmol) in 50 ml DCM was added 1 M BBr3 in DCM (43 ml, 43 mmol) at 0° C. The reaction mixture was stirred at r.t. for 3 h, which turned to a light brown solution and back to a light brown suspension. After quenched with aq. sodium bicarbonate solution, the mixture was extracted with EA. The org. phase was washed with brine, dried over sodium sulfate, concentrated to dryness to give 4.746 g 53 as light brown solid. Yield: 100%, purity>95%.
