The reaction mixture is stirred at room temperature overnight under a nitrogen atmosphere. Then methyl 5-fluoro-2-nitrobenzoate (724 g, 3.64 moles) is added over a 1 hour period (slight exotherm to 31° C.). After stirring overnight at room temperature, the inorganic solids are removed by filtration and 1700 ml of dimethyl sulfoxide removed under vacuum (1 mm, pot temp. of 85° C., vapor temp. of -40° C.). The residue is diluted with a large volume of carbon tetrachloride and water washed. The organic layer is dried with anhydrous magnesium sulfate and the solvent removed under vacuum to afford 1142 g of methyl 5-(2-chloro-4-trifluoromethylphenoxy)-2-nitrobenzoate (84% yield). Anal.
