Wuhan University Journal of Natural Sciences

Abstract

2,4-Dibromo-5-fluorobenzonitrile has been synthesized for the first time (81.5% yield). It may be used in synthesizing 2,4-dibromo-5-fluorobenzoic acid, the intermediates of fluoroquinolones. The ammoxidation procedure for preparation of the nitrile has been described in detail.
