Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 4-amino-2,2-diflouro-1,3-benzodioxole (2.5 g, 14.4 mmol) in dichloromethane at 0° C. was added N-bromosuccinimide (2.7 g, 15.2 mmol) portion wise. The solution was stirred at 0° C. for 30 min, then at room temperature for 1 h. The reaction mixture was quenched with 1M sodium thiosulfate solution and diluted with deionized water, extracted with dichloromethane (2×50 mL). The combined organic layers were dried (Na2SO4), filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. The crude product was purified by flash chromatography (SiO2, 0-20% ethyl acetate in hexanes) to recover starting material 1 g and afford 5-bromo-4-amino-2,2-diflouro-1,3-benzodioxole as colorless oil (2.33 g, 9.25 mmol, 64%). MS: (ES) m/z calculated for C7H4BrF2NO [M+H]+252.0. found 252.
