To this hot mixture was added 1-bromo-2-fluoro-4-methyl-5-nitrobenzene (5.00 g) slowly and then the reaction mixture was heated under reflux at 100° C. overnight. The mixture was cooled to room temperature, filtered through a pad of celite, and extracted with ethyl acetate (3×50 mL). The organic solution was washed with water (3×100 mL) and brine (100 mL), dried (MgSO4) and concentrated under reduced pressure to give the subtitle compound (3.59 g) as a solid. was heated the reaction mixture was heated under reflux at 100° C. overnight The mixture was cooled to room temperature filtered through a pad of celite extracted with ethyl acetate (3×50 mL) The organic solution was washed with water (3×100 mL) and brine (100 mL) dried (MgSO4) concentrated under reduced pressure

Procedure: To a suspension of 5-bromo-4-fluoro-2-methylaniline (11.2 g, 54.9 mmol) in concentrated HCl (35 mL) was added dropwise a solution of sodium nitrite (4.17 g, 60.4 mmol) in water (20 mL) over 30 minutes at 0° C. To the mixture was added dropwise a solution of SnCl2.2H2O (37.2 g, 165 mmol) in concentrated HCl (45 mL) over 1 hour. After stirring for 2 hours at 0° C., the reaction mixture was basified with 50% NaOH (50 mL). The mixture was further diluted with water (50 mL) and treated with another 50% NaOH (20 mL) and then crushed ice (200 g). The reaction mixture was extracted with ether (3×200 mL) and the combined organic phases were washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4, and filtered. The filtrate was acidified by adding an anhydrous solution of HCl in ether (2 N in ether, 42 mL, 82.5 mmol). The precipitate was collected and dried under reduced pressure to give 9.92 g (71%) of title compound as a pale yellow solid. 1H NMR (DMSO): 300 MHz δ 10.18 (bs, 3H), 7.98 (bs, 1H), 7.21 (m, 2H), 2.16 (s, 3H). The reaction mixture was extracted with ether (3×200 mL) the combined organic phases were washed with brine dried over Na2SO4 filtered The precipitate was collected dried under reduced pressure
