Mode opératoire

A mixture of 4-bromo-2-fluoro-benzonitrile (15.0 g, 75.0 mmol), methanol (30.4 mL, 350 mmol) and potassium carbonate (31.1 g, 225 mmol) in DMF (150 mL) was stirred under argon at 55° C. overnight. At this point TLC (100% methylene chloride) revealed no starting material, and the reaction mixture was poured into ether (300 mL) and water (150 mL). The layers were separated, and the organic layer was washed with water (150 mL) and brine (50 mL), dried over Mg2SO4, filtrated, and concentrated under reduced pressure, providing (15.2 g, 95.5%) of 4-bromo-2-methoxy-benzonitrile as a white solid. 1H-NMR (CDCl3) δ 7.41 (d, J=8.1 Hz, 1H), 7.16 (dd, J=8.1, 1.6 Hz, 1H), 7.13 (d, J=1.6 Hz, 1H), 3.93 (s, 3H); MS GC-MS (M+=211; RT=6.15 min).
