• available 2-bromo-4-fluoro-1-nitrobenzene, featuring a noble-metal-free system, mild reaction conditions, and a good yield, especially for the final Cs2CO3-facilitated nucleophilic substitution (77–91% yield). The characterization data obtained from IR and NMR spectroscopy (1H, 13C, 19F, and 31P) as well as
