Reaktionsschritte

To a suspension of 5-bromo-2-chlorobenzoic acid (5 g) in MeOH (200 mL) is added concentrated sulfuric acid (2 mL) and the mixture is heated at 64° C. for 16 h. The solution is evaporated in vacuo. The residue is taken up in EtOAc and washed with 10% sodium bicarbonate, brine and dried over sodium sulfate. The solution is filtered and evaporated in vacuo to afford 5-bromo-2-chloro-benzoic acid methyl ester (5.1 g). 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) □7.3-7.5 (m, 2H); 6.9 (m, 1H); 3.9 (s, 3H).
