2,4,6-Trifluorobenzoic acid (643 mg, 3.65 mmol) and 2-fluoro-4-iodoaniline (1.0 g, 4.22 mmol) were taken into acetonitrile (30 mL) followed by addition of lithium amide (290 mg, 12.7 mmol) and the mixture was heated to 60° C. under a nitrogen atmosphere for one hour. On cooling to room temperature the mixture was added to 1 N aqueous hydrochloric acid (100 mL) and the precipitate formed was collected by filtration and washed once with water then hexanes and dried in vacuo to give 2,4-difluoro-6-[(2-fluoro-4-iodophenyl)amino]benzoic acid (849 mg, 59% yield) as a tan solid. 1H-NMR (400 MHz, D6-DMSO): 13.72 (br s, 1H), 9.46 (s, 1H), 7.75 (d, 1H), 7.56 (d, 1H) 7.28 (tr, 1H), 6.73-6.67 (m, 1H), 6.53 (d, 1H).
