Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2,4-difluoro-1-nitrobenzene (20 g, 126 mmol) in chlorosulfonic acid (44 g, 378 mmol) was stirred at 100° C. for 48 hours before being poured into ice-water and extracted with EtOAc. The organic extract was dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated, and the residue was triturated with 10% EtOAc-petroleum ether to give 2,4-difluoro-5-nitrobenzenesulfonyl chloride as a brown oil (21 g, 81%) which was used directly in the next step.
