Procedure
5 ml of concentrated sulfuric acid and 1.2 ml of water were added to 1.24 g (0.007 mole) of 3-methoxy-2,4,5-trifluorobenzonitrile (XXIV) [prepared as described in Step (E4) above], and the mixture was heated at 100°-140° C. for 30 minutes, poured into ice-water, and extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was washed with water and dried, and the solvent was removed by evaporation under reduced pressure to afford 1.10 g of 3-methoxy-2,4,5-trifluorobenzamide (XXV) as a pale brown powder melting at 131°-133° C.
