Procedure

A solution of 4-(difluoromethoxy)aniline (1.0 g, 6.30 mmol) in AcOH (6 mL) was heated to 60° C. and iodine monochloride (1.07 g, 6.6 mmol) in AcOH (15 mL) was added dropwise. The reaction mixture was then heated to 85° C. and stirred for 1.5 h. The reaction mixture was cooled to r.t. and poured into cold water and the resulting suspension filtered. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo to give a dark brown oil. Purification by column chromatography (SiO2, 10-20% EtOAc/hexanes) gave the title compound (0.40 g, 22%) as a dark brown oil. δH (DMSO-d6) 7.38 (1H, d, J 2.7 Hz), 6.98-6.94 (1H, m), 6.97 (1H, t, J 74.8 Hz), 6.75 (1H, d, J 8.8 Hz), 5.20 (2H, br. s). LCMS (ES+) 286.0 (M+H)+, RT 3.28 minutes (Method 5).
