Reaction Steps

A portion of 2-(3,4-dimethoxy-5-nitrophenyl)-4-(2-(trifluoromethyl)pyridin-3-yl)-1,3,5-triazine (1.221 g, 3 mmol) was taken up in dichloromethane (25 mL). The yellowish solution was cooled to −78° C. under argon and boron tribromide (2.55 mL, 27 mmol) was added dropwise. The red reaction mixture was allowed to warm to room temperature and stirred for 18 hours. It was then carefully poured into ice-water (100 mL) and stirred for 1 hour. The yellow precipitate was filtered off, washed with water and dried over P2O5 under vacuum. Recrystallisation from a dichloromethane-ethanol mixture gave 3-nitro-5-(4-(2-(trifluoromethyl)pyridin-3-yl)-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl)benzene-1,2-diol as a yellow solid, 0.966 g (85%).
