Reaktionsschritte

2-Fluoro-N-methoxycarbonylaniline (150 g, 0.859 mol) was dissolved in 77.6% sulfuric acid (206 g) to prepare a solution. t-Butyl alcohol (72.9 g, 1.07 mol) was added dropwise to the solution under a nitrogen atmosphere over a period of 30 min while stirring and heating the solution at 70° C. After the completion of the dropwise addition, the reaction solution was vigorously stirred at the same temperature for one hr. t-Butyl alcohol (72.9 g, 1.07 mol) was again added dropwise thereto over a period of 30 min. After the completion of the dropwise addition, the reaction solution was vigorously stirred at the same temperature for one hr. t-Butyl alcohol (72.9 g, 1.07 mol) was again added dropwise thereto over a period of 30 min. After the completion of the dropwise addition, the reaction solution was vigorously stirred at the same temperature for one hr. The reaction solution was cooled to room temperature. n-Hexane (530 mL) was then added to the cooled reaction solution to carry out extraction for separation of the mixture into a sulfuric acid layer and an organic layer. n-Hexane (530 mL) was again added to the sulfuric acid layer to carry out extraction for separation of an organic layer. The organic layers thus obtained were combined, and the combined organic layer was washed with water and saturated brine in that order. The solvent was then removed from the organic layer by distillation to give 307 g of 4-t-butyl-2-fluoro-N-methoxycarbonylaniline as an oily crude product (yield on weight basis 159%, purity as determined by gas chromatography 65.1%, 4-t-butyl form 5-t-butyl form=100:0).
