Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Add nitric acid (65%, 21.0 g, 0.22 mol) dropwise to a cooled mixture (−10° C.) of (2-bromo-4-fluorophenyl)acetic acid (50 g, 0.22 mol) in concentrated sulfuric acid (250 mL) and stir the resulting mixture at −10-0° C. for 20 min. Pour onto crushed ice, extract with EtOAc (3×200 mL), wash organics with brine (3×100 mL), dry over sodium sulfate, and concentrate in vacuo to give the title compound (50 g, 84% yield). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): δ 8.04 (d, J=7.6 Hz, 1H), 7.57 (d, J=9.0 Hz, 1H), 3.87 (s, 2H).
