The general procedure for the synthesis of 6-bromo-5-nitroquinoline from 6-bromoquinoline was as follows: 6-bromoquinoline (0.190 g, 0.932 mmol) was dissolved in 4 mL of concentrated sulfuric acid and cooled to -5 °C in a salt-ice bath. An acid mixture consisting of concentrated sulfuric acid (1.5 mL) and concentrated nitric acid (1.5 mL) was prepared and cooled to -5°C. The 6-bromoquinoline solution was kept cooled at 0°C. The mixed acid was slowly added dropwise to the 6-bromoquinoline solution under magnetic stirring using a Pasteur pipette, and the dropwise process was controlled to be completed within 1 hour, ensuring that the reaction temperature did not exceed 0°C. The reaction solution gradually changed to dark yellow color. After 1 hour of reaction, the reaction mixture was slowly poured into a beaker containing 20 g of crushed ice. After the ice was completely melted, it was extracted with dichloromethane (5 x 5 mL). The organic phases were combined, neutralized with 10% sodium bicarbonate solution and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The solvent was removed by concentration under reduced pressure to give a yellow needle-like crystal product in quantitative yield (0.23 g). The melting point of the product was 128-130 °C.
