-(5-Acetylamino-2-chloro-4-fluorophenyl)ethane-thioate: To a solution of 2-chloro-4-fluoro-5-nitrobenzene-sulfonyl chloride (0.55 g, 2.0 mmol) in AcOH (5 mL) was added red phosphorus (0.25 g, 8.0 mmol) and I2 (5.0 mg, 0.04 mmol). The mixture was stirred and heated to reflux at 110 °C for 6 h. After cooling to r.t., the mixture was filtered. The filtrate was poured into ice-water and extracted with EtOAc (3 ×10 mL). The extracts were combined and dried over anhyd Na2SO4. After evaporating the solvent 0.49 g (94%) the desired product was obtained; mp 143-145 °C.

General Procedure. A 50-mL three-necked flask was charged with 3,4-dichloronitrobenzene (1h, 1.92 g, 10 mmol), red phosphorus (0.62 g, 20 mmol), I2 (0.1 g, 0.4 mmol), and an organic acid (2a-e or 4a, 40 mmol). The mixture was stirred at 140 °C (110 °C for AcOH) for 6 h. After cooling to r.t., the mixture was decanted onto ice-water and extracted with EtOAc (3 ×10 mL). The extracts were combined and dried over anhyd Na2SO4. The solvent was evaporated to give product 3a-e and 5.
