Procedure

A solution of TMEDA (10.5 mL, 70 mmol) in THF (50 mL) was cooled to <−80° C. and treated with sec-butyllithium (50 mL, 70 mmol). A solution of 2,4-difluorobenzoic acid (5.0 g, 31.6 mmol) in THF was added dropwise maintaining the temperature below −80° C. The reaction mixture was allowed to warm to −75° C. and treated with DMF (15 mL), the mixture then allowed to warm to 0° C. before quenching the reaction with water. The aqueous layer was separated, acidified to pH ˜2 (concentrated HCl) and extracted twice with diethyl ether. The combined organic extracts were dried (Na2SO4), filtered and concentrated in vacuo to give a yellow oil. The crude product was crystallized from cyclohexane/diethyl ether to give the title compound as a yellow solid (670 mg, 11%). 1H NMR (CDCl3, 400 MHz) 10.40 (1 H, s), 8.31 (1 H, ddd, J=8.96, 8.02, 6.08 Hz), 7.12 (1 H, td, J=9.09, 1.42 Hz).
