[2-(2,4-difluorophenyl)-2-oxoethyl] thiocyanate

Conditions: temp:130.01; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: A 25% hydrogen bromide/acetic acid (25 ml) solution was added to a solution of 2-(2,4-difluorophenyl)-2-oxoethyl thiocyanate (3.39 g, 15.9 mmol) in acetic acid (25 ml), and the mixture was stirred at 130° C. for 2 hours and stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. Water was poured to the reaction mixture, and crystals were collected by filtration and washed with water to give 3.23 g (73.6%) of the desired product as a solid. stirred at room temperature for 1 hour were collected by filtration washed with water

Conditions: temp:130.01; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: A solution of 2-bromo-1-(2,4-difluorophenyl)ethanone (5.0 g, 21.3 mmol) and potassium thiocyanate (2.07 g, 21.3 mmol) in ethanol (50 ml) was stirred at 80° C. for 2 hours. After cooling to room temperature, water (70 ml) was poured to the reaction mixture. A crystal was collected by filtration and washed with 50% aqueous ethanol to give 3.39 g (74.7%) of the desired product as a solid. A crystal was collected by filtration washed with 50% aqueous ethanol
