Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 138 (25 g, 0.160 mol) in DMF (250 mL) at 0° C. was added dropwise a solution of NBS (28.5 g, 0.160 mol) in DMF (100 mL). The resulting mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 1 h and then at RT for another hour. After the completion of the reaction, the mixture was poured into water (4 L) and extracted with EtOAc. The combined organic layers were washed with water and brine solution, dried (Na2SO4), filtered and concentrated in vacuo to afford 34 g (90%) of 4-bromo-3-fluoro-2-nitro-phenylamine (140) as a yellow solid which was used without further purification.
