 How can i convert m-chloroaniline to 3-chloro-6-nitro aniline

What I thought was :-
       1.protect aniline gr. by acetylation as NHCOCH3,
       2.consecutive 2 nitrations, using conc. H2SO4 & conc. HNO3 to introduce NO2 at pos. 4 & 6
       3.selectiv red. using Na2S, NO2 at pos. 4 --------> NH2
       4.diazotization of NH2 at pos. 4
       5.removal of N2Cl, by tretment with H3PO2,
       6.hydrolysis to convert NHCOCH3 -------->NH2
 
Am I correct ?

swati:
I am doubtful about the nitration at pos 6 because of the steric hindrance of NHCOCH3 group.

PRIYA1022:
I agree with Swati.

You can not, as that is not a valid name.
Do you mean 5-chloro-2-nitroaniline?
