2-bromo-1,3-difluoro-5-iodobenzene

Conditions: temp:-78.01; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: In a flame dried round-bottomed flask equipped with a magnetic stir bar and under inert atmosphere (N2), a solution of 4-bromo-3,5-difluoroiodobenzene (790 mg, 2.48 mmol) in dry Et2O (12 mL) was added to a n-BuLi (0.98 mL of a 2.5M solution in hexanes, 2.45 mmol) at −78° C. The reaction mixture was stirred at −78° C. for 2 h before solid CO2 was added. The reaction mixture was stirred at −78° C. for 10 min and then allowed to warm up to rt. The mixture was then diluted with EA and aq. 1N HCl was added. The layers separated and the org. layer dried over MgSO4, filtered, and the solvents were removed under reduced pressure to give the crude carboxylic acid as a pale yellow solid. The crude material (270 mg, 1.14 mmol) was dissolved in dry THF (6 mL) and treated with BH3.Me2S complex (1.0 M in THF, 2.3 mL, 2.30 mmol) at 0° C. The reaction mixture was then warmed to 50° C. and stirred at this temperature until completion of the reaction. The mixture was cooled to 0° C. and water was added followed by EA. The layers were separated and the aq. layer extracted with EA (3×). The combined org. extracts were washed with brine, dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude residue was purified by FC (hept-EA 9:1 to 2:1) to give the title compound as a white solid. TLC:rf (1:1 EA-hept)=0.53. was added to warm up to rt was added The layers separated layer dried over MgSO4 filtered the solvents were removed under reduced pressure to give the crude carboxylic acid as a pale yellow solid treated with BH3 at 0° C The reaction mixture was then warmed to 50° C. stirred at this temperature until completion of the reaction The mixture was cooled to 0° C. The layers were separated the aq. layer extracted with EA (3×) extracts were washed with brine dried over MgSO4 filtered concentrated under reduced pressure The crude residue was purified by FC (hept-EA 9:1 to 2:1)
