To this added 10% HCl (10 mL) and extracted the acetate intermediate with ethyl acetate. The ethyl acetate was evaporated and the residue taken up in dichloromethane (10 mL). To this solution added oxalyl chloride (1 mL) and few drops of dimethylformamide and stirred for 1 hr. The solvent was removed and the acid chloride was re-dissolved in dichloromethane (10 mL) and added slowly to dichloromethane solution (10 mL) of p-methoxybenzylamine (0.855 mL, 6.5 mmol). The reaction mixture after 2 hr showed new peak by HPLC and complete disappearance of the starting material. The dichloromethane was removed and the residue dissolved in methanol and to it added 10% aqueous NaOH solution (3 mL) and mixture stirred for 1 hr. The methanol was removed and the residue acidified and extracted with ethyl acetate. The ethyl acetate layer was dried, filtered and evaporated to yield 1.5 g (85%) of N-(4-methoxybenzyl)-4,5-difluoro-2-hydroxybenzamide as a white solid.
