Procedure
Compound 2-(4-bromo-2,3-difluorophenyl)acetonitrile (200 mg, 0.690 mmol) was dissolved in H2O (1 mL) and H2SO4 (1 mL) at 20° C. in one charge. The reaction mixture was stirred at 100° C. for 1 h. Then the solution was distributed between EA and H2O. The combined organic extract was washed with brine, dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated. The resulting 2-(4-bromo-2,3-difluorophenyl)acetic acid (180 mg, 0.287 mmol, 41.6% yield) was used in the next step without further purification. TLC (PE/EtOAc=2:1, Rf 0.6): 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.27-7.20 (m, 1H), 6.92-6.85 (m, 1H), 3.65 (s, 2H); ES-LCMS m/z 250.0 (M+H).
