Hydrogen Bromide → HCID 118483330, compound

Temperature

-5 °C

A suspension of 3,5-difluoro-2-(trifluoromethyl)aniline (24, 1.0 g, 5.07 mmol) in a 48% aqueous HBr (8 mL) and H2O (8 mL) was stirred at −5° C. for 5 min. To the suspension, NaNO2 (350 mg, 5.07 mmol) was added in a 10 mL aqueous solution dropwise maintaining −5° C. The resulting mixture was stirred at −5° C. for 1 h then CuBr (1.09 g, 7.63 mmol) was added portion-wise and the resulting suspension was allowed to slowly warm to ambient temperature. After 4 hours, the resulting solution was extracted with hexanes (3×75 mL). The combined organics were dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was chromatographed over silica gel (40 g Redisep column, pure hexanes) to afford 1-bromo-3,5-difluoro-2-(trifluoromethyl)benzene (25) as a light yellow liquid (1.01 g, 68%). 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.34-7.28 (m, 1H), 6.99-6.85 (m, 1H).
