Procedure
To a solution of 3,5-difluoro-4-nitro-benzoic acid methyl ester (10.95 g, 50 mmol) in THF (250 mL) was added at 0-5° C. under argon a 1M DIBAL solution in hexane (165 mL, 165 mmol) within 1.5 h. The reaction mixture was stirred for 2.5 h at 0-5° C. before it was added to 200 mL cold 1M aq. potassium tartrate solution under ice-cooling. After stirring the reaction mixture for 0.5 h at 25° C. the aqueous phase was extracted with EtOAc. Combined organic extracts were washed with brine, dried over MgSO4, filtered and evaporated to provide the title compound as a yellow solid: TLC (hexane-EtOAc 1.1) Rf=0.35; HPLC RtA=1.31 min; 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): δ 7.12 (d, 2H), 4.77 (s, 2H).
