Procedure

2,4-Difluorobenzoic acid (100 g, 633 mmol) was dissolved in concentrated sulfuric acid (400 ml), and N-iodosuccinimide (142 g, 601 mol) was added by portions at not more than 5° C. After the completion of the addition, the mixture was stirred at the same temperature for 6 hr. The reaction mixture was poured into ice water (ca. 2400 ml), then saturated aqueous sodium sulfite solution was added, and the mixture was stirred. The precipitated solid was collected by filtration, washed with water, and vacuum dried to give crude crystals (188 g). The crude crystals obtained in the same manner were combined (total amount 568 g), and recrystallized from 50% aqueous ethanol (2600 ml) to give 2,4-difluoro-5-iodobenzoic acid (388 g, yield 68%) as a white solid.
