Procedure

2,4-Difluorobiphenyl (21.2 g, 111 mmol) was dissolved in chloroform (120 mL) and chlorosulfonic acid (12.5 mL, 188 mmol) was added dropwise. The mixture was stirred overnight at room temperature. The reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo and the residue taken up into EtOAc (100 mL) and washed with water (3×25 mL). The organics were shaken with brine, whereupon a flocculent solid formed. This was filtered and washed with EtOAc and dried to give 2′,4′-difluorobiphenyl-4-sulfonic acid as an off-white solid (12.1 g).
