The reaction mixture is then stirred at 0° C. for 30 minutes and then poured into a large-volume round-bottomed flask containing 0.013 mol of cuprous chloride in 10 ml of acetic acid. The mixture obtained is brought to 60° C., stirred for 2 hours, and then hydrolysed after cooling by addition of ice. The precipitate obtained is filtered and washed with water. 3-Bromo-2-chloro-5-methylbenzoic acid is obtained: (Yield 58%, M.p. 160° C.).
