HCID 10751184Methyl 2-chloro-3-nitrobenzoateYield 99%

Procedure

Concentrated sulfuric acid (2.0 mL) was added to a solution of 2-chloro-3-nitrobenzoic acid (10.0 g, 49.6 mmol) in methanol (80 mL), and the mixture was stirred under reflux overnight. After removing methanol by vacuum concentration, water was added, and extraction was performed with ethyl acetate. The organic extract was washed in series with water, saturated sodium hydrogen carbonate and saturated saline, and dried over magnesium sulfate. The title compound (10.6 g, 99%) was obtained by vacuum concentration as a white solid.
