GENERAL METHOD: A mixture of 2-chloro-6-fluorobenzyl alcohol (1.0 mmol), N-phenylglycine (0.0076 g, 0.05 mmol), CuBr2 (0.0112 g, 0.05 mmol), Na2CO3 (0.1060 g, 1.0 mmol), and TEMPO (0.0078 g, 0.05 mmol) was added to a 100 mL Schlenk tube with H2O (3.0 mL) was added to a 100 mL Schlenk tube. It was stirred vigorously for 0.5 h under reflux conditions in air. After completion of the reaction, the product was extracted with CH2Cl2 (3 x 2.0 mL). The organic phases were combined, washed with H2O (3.0 mL) and dried with anhydrous MgSO4. After vacuum concentration, the residue was purified by column chromatography to give 2-chloro-6-fluorobenzaldehyde. Isolated yield: 0.1080 g (90%).
