The flask was evacuated using a water aspirator and then filled with hydrogen from a balloon. After stirring for 2 h, the palladium on carbon was removed by filtration through celite. The filtrate was then concentrated to afford 520 mg (87%) of 3-fluoro-5-methyl-benzoic acid methyl ester. 1H NMR (CDCl3), δ (ppm): 7.65 (s, 1H), 7.51 (d, 1H), 7.08 (d, 1H), 3.91 (s, 3H), 2.40 (s, 3H).
