Benzyl 2-chloro-6-fluoro-3-(propylsulfonamido)benzoate (174.5 mg, 0.4523 mmol) was dissolved in 3:1 dioxane:water (7.5 mL) and treated with barium hydroxide (100.7 mg, 0.5879 mmol). The reaction mixture was heated to 80° C. for 16 hours and then allowed to cool to ambient temperature. The mixture was acidified to a pH of 0 with concentrated HCl. The reaction mixture was allowed to stir for 10 minutes, after which the pH was adjusted to a pH of 4 using saturated sodium bicarbonate. The mixture was extracted with EtOAc (2×). The extracts were washed with water (2×) and brine (1×), dried over sodium sulfate, and concentrated to afford 2-chloro-6-fluoro-3-(propylsulfonamido)benzoic acid (75.7 mg, 0.2560 mmol, 56.6% yield). MS (APCI-neg) m/z=293.9 (M-H).
