The general procedure for the synthesis of 2,6-difluoro-4-nitrophenol from 2,6-difluorophenol and ethyl acetate is as follows: with reference to Example 103, 2,6-difluorophenol (2.00 g) was dissolved in acetic acid (20 ml), and 60% nitric acid (1.20 ml) was slowly added dropwise under ice bath conditions. After the dropwise addition, the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. After completion of the reaction, the mixture was poured into ice water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was washed with saturated saline and the organic layer was dried with anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The dried organic layer was filtered and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography with the eluent being a mixed solvent with the volume ratio of hexane/ethyl acetate=3/1→2/1, resulting in the target compound 2,6-difluoro-4-nitrophenol (1.37 g, 51% yield) as a light yellow solid. The structure of the product was confirmed by 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3), δppm: 7.95 (2H, m).

R.103 2,6-Difluoro-4-nitrophenol
Reference Example 103 2,6-Difluoro-4-nitrophenol To a solution of 2,6-difluorophenol (2.00 g) in acetic acid (20 ml) was added dropwise 60% nitric acid (1.20 ml) in an ice bath and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. After pouring into iced water, the reaction mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was washed with brine. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, filtered and the filtrate concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by chromatography on a silica gel column using hexane/ethyl acetate=3/1→2/1 as an eluant to give the desired compound (1.37 g, yield 51%) as a pale yellow solid. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ ppm: 7.95 (2H, m).
