In the commercial process for producing herbicidal bifenox, i.e., methyl 2-nitro-5-(2'4'-dichlorophenoxy)-benzoate, preparation of a reaction precursor involves the chlorination of benzoyl chloride to obtain m-chlorobenzoyl chloride. This material is then reacted with methanol to produce the corresponding methyl chlorobenzoate.
